Luckiest Passenger Ever Steps Onto An Empty Plane, Gets The Royal Treatment From Airline Staff
Karon Grieve from Dunlop in Ayrshire arrived at Glasgow airport for her trip to Heraklion Crete on Saturday afternoon when realized that there were only two other bookings on her Jet2 plane. She was given a free meal and a choice of any seat on the plane which was obviously a window seat with ample legroom.
This something all of us wish while travelling solo, getting an entire aircraft to yourself. Imagine, no cranky babies, no talkative co-passengers, it's blissful beyond words.
And one lucky Scottish woman actually got an entire private jet to herself from Glasgow to Crete! No kidding.

After the duo failed to show up, Karon got onboard the empty plane and was treated like VIP the whole way.

She was given a free meal and a choice of any seat on the plane, which was, obviously, a window seat with ample legroom!
The 57-year-old author paid a modest ?46 for the Greek island bound flight that normally seats 189 passengers.
¡°I turned up at the check-in desk and was joking with the staff, saying ¡®how many people are on this flight?¡¯ The guy was laughing at me and he said ¡®oh come on, guess¡¯,¡± Grieve told BBC¡¯s Good Morning Scotland programme.
She was handed her luggage as soon as the flight touched down. ¡°I didn¡¯t even have to wait at the dreaded baggage carousel,¡± she told the Telegraph.
Now, that's one lucky passenger!
