The airline would probably cancel the flight if they sold only one seat, so that's a self fulfilling prophecy.
Nah, airlines have their planes in a complex web of routes all dependent on each other, that plane would fly regardless because after it gets (if it got there heh) to the next airport it would also prob have a route from that airport to another
Exactly. I was on an empty flight red eye PDX to Boston. Didn't get cancelled, but what sucked that they didn't have first class, so I still had to be crammed into those tiny seats. Couldn't sleep as always.
At least there wasn't a screaming baby, a moron kicking your seat, or someone eating steamed broccoli sitting next to you.
no, not the steamed broccoli!
Hahaha it seems anecdotal, because it is. On a plane it smells like someone opened a box of farts.
What if there was only one other person on the plane, and it was a screaming baby that kicked the seat while eating broccoli?
At least you can change seats? 🤷
They might need the plane at the other airport anyway
Have been the only one on a flight before. It’s weird when the flight attendants outnumber you.
They need that plane to pickup the other passengers from the destination airport
I flew from Oman to Dubai with like 4 people on the flight aside from crew. Stretched out in the centre aisle.
