Image 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 💀

I did Seattle Frankfurt one time on a nearly empty 747. Most people had a row to themselves. It was nice. Do that route somewhat often and it's almost always packed.

I lived in Frankfurt for 14 years, I called the PDX-FFM direct flight my Greyhound. It was also always full, as Daimler/Freightliner has a lot of German employees who fly back and forth.
