This Man Was The Only Passenger On A 188-Passenger Boeing 737-800 Plane From Vilnius To Italy

A Lithuanian man flying to Italy got a pleasant surprise when he boarded a plane and realized he was the only passenger on the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

The lucky man, Skirmantas Strimaitis, who was flying from capital Vilnius to the northern Italian city of Bergamo for a skiing holiday March 16, had the whole 188-passenger plane to himself. The only others onboard were two pilots and five crew members.

The Novaturas travel agency said it had chartered the plane to fly a group home from Italy, and to avoid flying empty ,it offered one-way tickets and only Strimaitis bought one ticket.

The luckiest traveler ever said the more than two-hours flight was “a once in the lifetime experience”
