Have you ever imagined having an entire aeroplane to yourself? For most people, this is a bizarre and highly improbable fantasy (unless you are royalty, of course), but for one woman from the Philippines, this actually came true.

On December 24, 2018, when Louisa Erispe boarded her flight PR 2820 from Davao to Manila, she realised that she was, in fact, going to be the only passenger on the plane. At first, she was nervous about flying alone, with no one but the cabin crew. But soon, she settled in and even hopped, skipped and jumped to a new seat in the middle of her flight, because, well¡ She could.

From her Facebook post, where she posted pictures of herself in an empty plane, it looks like she definitely enjoyed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At the end of the flight, she thanked the crew and the pilot for the flight.

The most (pleasantly) surprising thing of all was that the flight actually took off despite having just one passenger. People lauded Philippines Airlines for actually sticking to their guns and not letting their passenger down, even if it was just one.
