It may bee creepy for some. Yes, it may well be what nightmares are made of. But equally, to have the run of the entire plane can make some grin ear-to-ear and this is exactly what happened to a passenger who was flying to Italy on a Boeing 737-800 and he got a very pleasant surprise when he boarded the flight. Long rows of seats, but all bereft of passengers. And none were lined up behind him either. Skirmantas Strimaitis, who hails from Lithuania, was the only passenger on the flight to travel according to AP!

Strimaitis, was flying from capital Vilnius to the northern Italian city of Bergamo. He was travelling for a skiing holiday March 16, and was the only passenger in the plane. Yes, of course, teh crew was there, but the again, it is not the same, is it?

Novaturas travel said that they chartered the plane to fly a group home from Italy, and to avoid flying empty, one-way tickets were sold. Only one passenger bought a ticket.
