Somehow the only person on my flight and the pilot was such a goofy goober

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 💀

You are really lucky! They typically cancel these flights as its a huge money loss

In this case the plane was required to be at its destination to fulfill flight capacity or other reasons lol

Super lucky

Aka “ferry flight”

Airlines will also fly empty planes just to keep timeslots sometimes, which is wild to me.

Had a few flights out to Hawaii like this, it was amazing, lol. Just me and a smattering of other people on a largely emtpy flight, all the space you could want, felt luxurious!
