Shortly after the televised surprise, Zubeidah was yet again surprised in-flight, by the Kenya Airways crew, in the presence of her family.

The captain called out her name to wish her a happy birthday before she was presented with a cake from the Kenya Airways crew.

While being cleared at the immigration line, after landing, she was again surprised with a birthday card.

Clearly the mother of two had a good day.
