I was the only person in a Warrior once...
But seriously, probably an A319 from MHT to DTW. Almost an empty flight, and we got vectored for a very long final, so we pretty much just descended straight and level down from cruise on to the numbers
. There were no clouds, and it was just too cool

Are you talking about domestic or international? Recent or long past flights?
6 months before PanAm closed its doors, my husband and I took one of its mighty 747s to London. Like your DAL flight, it also only had about 20 people on board. I feel sad just thinking about it again, that a great airline like that is now no more.
btw, I still have one of its small bars of soap. Great piece of nostalgia.

Within 5-6 months of 9/11, on a SAAB 340 from MEM to my hometown of PFN...
Its ME. That's right, me...and one flight attendant. I tried to strech out across the back row of 5 seats and sleep, but she came back to chat (was fairly new and didn't hate all pilots yet) and we had a nice talk. I thanked the entire crew for my personal plane to take me home from a long night of work.

I was able to lay down on an Alaska flight from Seatac to Anchorage. I don't really remember how many people were on it but I could have probably sat anywhere i wanted on the plane without sitting next to somone.

On a SWA 737 from SNA-SMF on the 4th of July a couple years ago...about 10 people total. All except for me sat in the first 5 rows.
Also, on a USAIR 757 from SNA-PHX...about 15 people scattered throughout. That thing blasted off the runway for that noise abatement procedure.

About six people on a DL 727 from Albuquerque to El Paso. We all got bumped to First Class.
Flew on a DL flight to Stuttgart that was about 25% full. I missed the mad dash for the three middle seats after dinner and the first movie. That would have given me an entire row to lay across and sleep on, but I still had my window and aisle seat to myself and no one infront of me dropping their seat in my lap.
