US man from Brooklyn flew home in style on Monday, as practically the only passenger on-board a Cleveland-to-New York flight.
Chris O’Leary tweeted in disbelief after taking his seat as the solo flyer aboard a Delta regional plane and got incredibly personalised safety instructions from flight attendants.
O’Leary’s 9:39am flight home was delayed for hours, so he stayed in his hotel until the afternoon when it was finally going to depart, according to report.
By the time O’Leary reached the airport, he learned that virtually all his fellow passengers had been rebooked on other flights and he somehow missed messages offering the earlier departures.
They rebooked everyone but me on another flight to LGA,” he tweeted, “so I am literally the only person on this plane.”
He added: “Just got a personal safety briefing from my two flight attendants.”
A flight attendant snapped a picture of O’Leary alone in passenger seats.
He tweeted out the image with: “No, I’m not joking. I’m the only one on this plane.”
O’Leary was all set to get his personalised ride home, before the Delta plane rolled back to the gate and picked up one more passenger.
O’Leary didn’t mind sharing his flight.
“Part of this is my own stupidity but it ended up working out in my favor,” O’Leary said, grateful that he missed all of the airline’s messages.
