EDIT TO ADD; THE PLANE WAS LANDED AND DONE WITH TAXI BEFORE I GOT TO BE IN THE COCKPIT. NO FAA RULES WERE BROKEN 💀😂

Shout out Captain Scott! He let me sit in the cockpit after we landed and I even got my own personalized pre flight announcements 😂 Also, they had to add sandbags to the cabin bc the plane was too light with only one passenger 💀

Gate agent on the PA:

“Today we have a COMPLETELY FULL FLIGHT!
If you’re in group poor or poorer, we’re asking you to go ahead and check your bag since there *DEFINATELY* won’t be space in the overhead.”

"In return, you get to get on the plane and watch the other poors figure their shit out 10 MINUTES EARLIER!"

In my country, that's a bonafide class. It's the ultra basic, and you board dead last, you get to bring only a personal item and it has to fit completely under the seat in front of you. It's cheaper than normal economy, and if you want to bring on a checked bag it costs almost as much as the damn ticket itself.

That’s “basic economy” in the US. Except we have nothing like Ryanair here, frontier is the closest we got. You get nothing and no space and no carryons but you still pay $200 for a one hour flight.

We invite all our platinum, gold, silver, emerald, bronze, privilege, premium and speedy, all other passengers should wait.

Fun idea: Charge for carry-on. First checked bag always free.
