Man reveals what happens if you’re the only passenger on a flight
A man travelling from Sydney to Fiji was surprised to discover he was the only passenger onboard the ‘ghost flight’.
Robbie Allen filmed the bizarre experience, saying it was like being put on a ‘private jet’ as a treat for his upcoming birthday.
A ‘ghost flight’ is a normal route which is flown with less than 10% of its capacity – a common phenomenon during the pandemic.
‘I was literally the only person on the whole plane,’ he said in a TikTok video.
‘The captain came and sat next to me and talked to me. Then the staff gave me whatever I wanted.’
He then showed a snack bowl the flight attendant had prepared for him, accompanied by a glass of sparkling wine.
‘I had already booked business class but I would’ve gotten it for free if I didn’t,’ he said.
‘It was such a strange and weird experience, something I’ll never forget.’
He also showed his suitcase standing alone in the luggage pick up area.
‘I was the only person on the plane so it’s just there by itself,’ he said.
Robbie wrote in the comments that the return flight was only expecting 27 passengers.
Hundreds of people said the empty flight would be their dream come true.
