Weather can really scramble airline schedules, and this week was no exception with hundreds of flights cancelled or delayed, and thousands of passengers rebooked on other flights. But for two lucky Delta passengers enroute from Cleveland to New York, it was a (probably) never-to-be-repeated experience. They flew the route as the only two passengers on a Delta Express 67-seater whose other passengers had been rebooked.
It was almost a solo flight for one of them, but when the other showed up at the gate a few minutes later, the plane was recalled to the gate to take him, too. From USA Today, the DETAILS
In the spirit of one-upmanship, same number of passengers, bigger plane, I was once one of 2 passengers on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to San Francisco. It wasn’t the advantage I thought it might be as all the flight attendants just went to sleep, so no service rather than personal service. It was a long time ago but memorable enough that I still remember the airline.
