Passengers left stunned after boarding flight only to find it completely empty

A MAN was stunned to find he was just one of three passengers on an entire flight – which still took off.

Jak Scott was travelling with Jet2 from Edinburgh to Greece when he was told his flight would be nearly empty.

Despite paying just £59 for his ticket, he ended up getting a private jet experience in the near-empty cabin.

He told Edinburgh Live: “I got to the gate early was confused why no one else was going through, it wasn’t until they did the final call I got up and went to the desk, and the service agent walked me to the airplane door and told me it’s only me and two other people.

“I thought it was some sort of strange joke until I entered the plane.”

Despite being a frequent traveller, he said it was the first time it had ever happened to him.

He said he was served “pretty much after the seat belt sign went off” too.

Jak isn’t the first person this has happened to.

A couple were left stunned after their flight was cancelled – only to be the only passengers on their replacement flight.

Anaru Ratapu and his wife had booked Air New Zealand flights after travelling to New Plymouth for a conference.

After fearing they would be stranded with no other flights for days, they were told that crew would be on a repositioning flight – which is when crew need to fly back to a base.

Staff then managed to get them on that flight – meaning they were the only commercial passengers on it.

Another person it happened to was Kai Forsyth.

Kai was also the sole passenger on an eight-hour flight from the UK to the US where he was given all the free food he wanted and managed to make a bed on the empty seats.

And in 2019, Vincent Peone was travelling with Delta to Salt Lake City when he found out he was the only guest on board, and was allowed to meet the pilots.
