On a flight from Brussels to Atlanta on a Delta 767 I had the entire first class section to myself. Seems Delta was about to cancel the flight and all the first class passengers went to an American flight. Then Delta got whatever problem fixed and we launched. 9 hour flight all to myself. The only thing that would have made the flight more perfect was if the flight attendant would have been a 21 year old hot chick instead of a dude............

I was the only passenger on a B1900 once from PHX to PRC.

I've flown empty passenger flights, but the one I remember had one person on board. I got his name from a flight attendant and made all my PA's to him personally. It was like he had his own personal jet.

I'd say it was back in '95. My dad & I were returning to PBI on a DAL L-1011 from ATL. The flight originated in DCA on a MD-88. The leg from ATL to PBI, there were about 40 people on the entire aircraft!

TWA from DAY to STL commuting in for an early show the next morning I was the only person on a baby 9 (DC9-10)

This happened at least 3 times.

1 pax. I cant remember the flight, but the airplane was a Emb 145.

I heard of a repo flight with just the flight attendants onboard where the pilots rolled the airplane upside down a few times and after they landed there was no one in the back. True story. Not.

I had a flight on a 777 from Denver to San Fransisco back in December 2001 that had less than 10 people on board. I got to sleep across all three center seats ^^. Now that I think back on this, I regret it, (those seats must have been pretty dirty).

I was on a solo cross country from Avon Park to Ft Meyers in a 150, back in '78. It was two hours of me, by myself. Emptiest flight I've ever been on...
