    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.

      Have been the only one on a flight before. It’s weird when the flight attendants outnumber you.

      I flew from Oman to Dubai with like 4 people on the flight aside from crew. Stretched out in the centre aisle.
