In a tale that sounds too good to be true, one man has lived every traveler’s fantasy. Phil Stringer shared his experience on TikTok of being the only passenger on a flight, turning it into a relaxed party for all the staff.
Only One Passenger!
The flight lasted three hours from Oklahoma City to Charlotte, North Carolina.
An 18-hour delay beforehand resulted in every passenger canceling except Stringer, who would go on to have his dream flight.
Stringer arrived at the departure gate to discover he was the only person there, but the flight was still scheduled to depart.
Originally set for 6.20 am on Sunday, the flight finally took off after midnight, granting Stringer an exclusive opportunity to be the king of the skies.
“When You Buy Every Single Ticket on the Plane So You Don’t Have To Deal With People”
With the entire aircraft at his disposal, Stringer relished the luxury of first-class seats and indulged in the finest food and drink American Airlines had to offer.
He couldn’t contain his excitement and filmed the empty cabin, sharing it on TikTok with the caption: “When you buy every single ticket on the plane so you don’t have to deal with people.”
He then admitted he was, “Just kidding,” revealing that everyone has had, “Given up.”
In disbelief, Stringer hilariously addressed the camera, saying, “I am the only person on this plane, and they have an entire flight crew. They do not want to do this flight.”
The Crew Were Relaxed
He then captured the smiling face of a baggage handler, who confirmed that he had loaded “all the bags” onto the aircraft.
When asked how many bags the worker loaded, he smiled, “Just one.”
The aircrew remained in good spirits, keeping the atmosphere lighthearted while going through the standard safety announcements.
Staff could be seen in the seats on their phones before take off, showing just how relaxed they were about the situation.
21.9 Million Views!!
At the end of the video, they even obliged to take a selfie with the lone passenger for good will.
The video of Stringer’s unbelievable flight quickly went viral, accumulating 21.9 million views and 4.5 million likes in a single day.
TikTokers couldn’t contain their delight and envy at the unusual scenario he found himself in.
“This Makes Me Smile!! They Still Flew for You!!!”
One user exclaimed, “This makes me smile!! They still flew for you!!!”
Others were coming up with hilarious scenarios, “Hope you didn’t let out a fart in that airspace, cuz they would’ve known it was you.”
Another suggested, “Imagine you’re the only one, and they still lost your luggage.”
What would you do in this situation? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
