One lucky American became the only passenger to end up boarding a flight that repeatedly encountered delays. The other passengers scheduled had given up catching the flight from Oklahoma City airport to Charlotte, North Carolina due to severe storms. The man’s video aboard the “private jet” garnered 50 million views on TikTok.

A flight to remember
for the rest of his life.
New friends to behold
for the rest of his life.
And you?? 🤡
@@MultiverseRaidenClanMe?
Hopefully not someone you hate
for the rest of your life.
@@MultiverseRaidenClananime pfp ahh
@@Poopenfarden and
@@MultiverseRaidenClan this flight is just not energy efficient, more greenhouse gases released for no reason
What a great experience! Better than having a private jet.
it became a private plane
Welllll private jets are typically configured with a sofa, queen size bed, a full shower, entertainment room, etc. hehe.
@@machsaga5141 nah better have new friends :)
@@dry1ceeeYou can have both
Nope! Private jet is better! You have flights like this wherever you wanna, even better! 🛫✈🛬
How fun to actually get to meet and talk to the flight crew like real people!
I was once lucky enough to be on an almost empty 8 hour flight. It was a huge plane so even though there were a handful of other people I didn't see them the whole flight. It was a dream flight experience.
I had a similar experience flying to Japan for language school during the time when tourists weren’t allowed, so it was either Japanese people finally getting to return home or language school students. Probably 10% of the seats were filled.
In covid times had a flight to Denmark as an exchange student from Moscow when only student visas were issued. Thus so few people were on board! Had a row for myself 🥳
@@marybrown2723 had that early this year. Had a row to myself and a cocktail to enjoy.
So they were still there...not completely empty...
This is an introvert’s dream. Been dreaming of having transport all to myself.
Yes
id rather be with other passengers than having just the crew around me.
He had to get acquainted with all crews. If he wasn't the only passengers, they wouldn't have focused on him that much
We don't need introvert here. Leave.
Introverts would prefer several more passengers scattered around the cabin to distract the crew's attention...
I honestly want this. A flight with just myself and no passengers on board except the crew. This is a once in a lifetime dream.
Who needs first class when you can have entire flight for yourself
I would hate that so much😭 couldn’t avoid talking to people if you’re the only one there.
The true private jet
1k+ comments on this channel, are you anti china bot spreading anti china messages
@@CCP-Lieslmao you are a bot for CCP , there is no political topic in this video 😂
dude comments on every single video he watches
That’s his reward for patiently waiting for 18 hours.
Something similar happened to me once. The flight was supposed to take off at 7:45, but for some reason they took off at 7:30. When I went to check at the gate why they hadn’t called seats yet at 7:40, they said they had tried calling me over the intercom at 7:20 but I had my headphones on so I didn’t hear them. They put me on a 8:30 flight to the same destination and it was just me and the crew during the flight. Felt surreal.
Thanks to your nice gesture to get along with them so lovingly,
Flight crew many a times have hard times,
Even after giving 110% service few may only be criticised,
All those being at age of my daughter or younger sisters,
I always have boarded flight with folded hands to show respect 🙏🙏
Although my total flight count in India may still be under 20 or so.
What a lucky guy!
He is a keeper.
Wow instant first class upgrade.
So lucky 🍀 ! Bravo to the cabin crew too, still serving only 1 customer 👏👏👏
Thanks SCMP, always brightening one's day to remind us that not all news is bad. Its just some and some other are wholesome
It's funny how out of all news outlets out there, it's the Hong Kong based one that somehow turns out to give the best vibes
This man is a lucky man
Man waited 18 hours to get a whole plane to himself, made new friends, and got in news. The power of patience
Delayed--- booked him entire flight 😂
I appreciate the inclusivity of this channel. Even though my country, the US, and China, are having some disputes, this page still covers some American news as well as pretty much every country. In the end I do believe we’ll get along and create a better future. We just have to be involved with each other and see what’s going on across the water 👍🏻
True. SCMP CZcams channel does tell the real journalism.
I always update my current affairs knowledge from this channel.
Well because this is a Singapore based channel.
@@skyezblue3136 SCMP is HK based and owned by Alibaba group
@@GeorgeMartinusNah, SCMP when it comes to politics is leaning to the CCP side although it's not as obvious as China-funded news media.
I absolutely love this channel and watch some of the news everyday. It covers news from every corner of the world and it only shows what's happening at the ground level without giving a judgement whether its right and wrong. All the opinions are left to the masses to decide.
I flew on an AA Boeing 767-300 from Brussels to London with 5 passengers onboard. The crew kindly upgraded me to Business class for the 30 min flight!
He got sort of lucky. It must be a cool experience. having party with crew on a empty plane.
My night flight from Australia to Indonesia on 24th Dec was empty as heck, there was 10 passengers on economy, that was the finest solemn trip in my life time 😂
Man had a great time
its like they say its not the journey but the friends we made along the way
As an significant introvert this would be horrible to me.
Such a lucky person
I would love a flight from San Diego to China Japan or New Zealand solo to see how it feels
This is the cutest "unfortunate incident" I've ever seen😆
Imagine your the only passenger and still got kicked out?
Imagine if the real reason he flight alone is because the engine has a trouble so they need to sent the plane to hangar ASAP so he fly alone
Would be a thrill worth sharing later, though I must ruin the fun the plane always flies in perfect condition at all time to prevent such failure
The luckiest man to fly
This is literally one in a million, i think I’ve only seen like maybe 2 or 3 similar circumstances
Moral of this:always take ur delayed flight no matter how late it is😂
He was lucky that the Oklahoma boss didnt spawn that night 💀
Thanks to his patience, he gained private jet experience. Great.
such a positive and lucky guy.. haha congrats
what a wholesome moment. imagine something like this happening to you. these guys also get a breather and frankly just get sit and relax and enjoy the flight instead of getting peppered by annoying people.
I’m surprised they didn’t cancel the flight. This cost the airline over $50,000 between the fuel and staff. For a plane ticket under $500.
The lucky guy..... ❤❤❤
Awesome vibing crew 🥳🥳🥳
As an introvert this is actual nightmare
They actually managed to lose the only bag on the plane which was his. He has a video explaining this on tiktok lol
Now these plane became his private jet
that is so cool... a nice story. I had a cinema to myself once. But the movie was kind of cruel, so I would have loved some company, but it was the last showing for the evening, very late at night, and they let me in despite I was the only one. ☺ It was a small cinema though. It was the movie "In the name of the father", and I am actually a scaredy-cat, so it was fifty fifty, I liked it and was grateful but also thought, what have I done... 😅😁
Question for pilots or airline staff. So if noone has booked the flight at all, I'm guessing the flight has to go anyway?
this is how airlines should do their promotion
Man flew on a private jet.
We had similar experience when me & my cousin were only viewers in 100 seats multiplex theatre and movie was played for only two of us....we also received complementary snacks during intervel free from theatre management....It was my lifetime experience.
That's some very very special flight
in the 90's i flew
des moines iowa . there were only 3 of us out of 100 seat from california. Now i know why there was only three , that state is so dead boring
He had patience
This is better than a private jet, this is a private *plane* .
The flight attendants was having a fun experience lol
He got every class
Not a great usage of CO2 emissions....
Well I would be a bit tilted to move out from my room to serve just a single person on a flight xD
My dream flight😁
Even without the passegers on board their are still important cargos that needed to be transferred and delivered.
It is like he bought all seats just for him
His saved contact is " the Lonely one" or something
Dude got a temporary private jet 🗿
we are still in pandemic without realizing..
Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way.
I'm sure the crew was excited to leave the hotel for 1 person
What the story did not say is nonetheless he was the last pax to unboard the plane.
Surprised that this can happen after Covid and on a day that is not a super major holiday (such as Christmas Day)
No i wouldn't call it lucky, his flights were delayed for 18hours.
Not only. Same others.
He should have sat on co pilot's seat😂
The jump sit would be better. Not the FO's sit though for safety reason ：）
Bro got a Private plane...
Bro exchanging numbers with random people 💀💀💀
what nice people
I had similar experience long back 😂
Can confirm, this is Oklahoma moment
That plane looks deserted 😆
Opportunities Comes once in a lifetime only becomes a memorial events to be remembered as a touchdown in consciousness .
I wish if i get that opportunity... That will be a fun trip for life.
What a waste of resources. Airline should have cancelled the flight
It would need to fly to the destination anyway
that plane needed to be at the destination in any case, as it will be used for another flight from that place to another. try again.
Then how do the plane can reach the next destination and serve the next flight?
What an insane waste of fuel.
So if the plane crashes he is gonna be the unluckiest guy
Dude, you're so lucky they didn't bump you off that flight for an extra crew member.😅
This should be an SNL, not actually be real.
Easy night for the The Stewardesses
that sounds so fun tho
Imagine flying on a plane without anyone...
Not even pilots
MORE DARK THAN MY SKIN
It is actually possible, modern planes has autopilot and auto landing.
@@godofnothing520 coming from kim yong un who dumps his equipment in the ocean
People who fly small cessnas and fighter jets:
His bag still never made it
great way to make new friends
Ufffff. Knowing you usually are 2h before flight he easily wasted 20h just for that moment. At least he had a great time.
A private plane experience under a commercial flight price.
I wonder if she is single
a lot of them are single because they're away from home all the time
The fuel costs for 1 man. OOF
The flight crew probably wanted to whoop him first, he’s lucky they didn’t.
They had a party up on that....... Whole f*cking passenger plane became a Private Jet for one. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
How to make a commercial plane into a private plane e
Hahahahahaha! They became friends too! *(something i can’t do..)*
Lessons: Patience can get you a private plane LOL
Lesson: book flights on bad weather days
I see this guy vid before
He better be on the First Class or it would've been a wasted opportunity
