On a flight from Rochester, New York to Washington, D.C., Redditor shadybaby22 magically found herself on a completely empty plane thanks to a clerical error. Turns out, her flight was specifically meant only for airline staff rather than the general public.
"I got a whole plane to myself when I was accidentally booked on a flight just meant for moving crew," says the lucky passenger on Reddit.
According to The Independent, the passenger was scheduled to fly from New York to Washington, D.C. when the flight was cancelled.
"When my flight was canceled about 8 hours earlier a confused agent gave me and half the passengers a seat for the plane in the pic before another agent realized everyone could go on an earlier flight. They made an announcement on the speaker but I'd already left to go back to my parent's house nearby to wait for the next few hours. I was never contacted about the flight change," she explains on Reddit.
She only figured out that there was a problem when she realized she was the only passenger in the waiting area 45 minutes before takeoff.
She eventually boarded the flight, only to realise she was the only passenger flying on it. In case you're wondering, the attendant onboard did take her through the safety demonstration - "but she went through it at double the speed of the sound recording giving instructions."

Since it was a short flight, she didn't ask for any special treatment. "Maybe I would've gotten special treatment if I tried," she adds on the thread.
She posted about her rather comfortable plane ride along with a picture of herself in the empty plane. Her post is now going viral.
