Choosing a seat in an almost empty airplane surprised another passenger
Imagine boarding an airplane and having an entire row or even the entire cabin to yourself. With only one or two other passengers, you can choose any seat, stretch out, sleep comfortably, and enjoy the flight without feeling cramped or crowded by other passengers. Finding that the entire airplane is empty can certainly seem like a dream!
The experience of traveling on a virtually empty airplane is rare and adds a touch of excitement and novelty to the trip. However, while enjoying this experience, a man's fellow traveler, who had the opportunity to sit anywhere on a Southwest Airlines flight, sat right behind him. This was reported by news18.com.
Posting a photo of the incident on the microblogging platform, chef Anthony Thomas wrote: "Imagine the luxury of boarding an airplane with two other passengers. Of all the seats on the plane, look at where he chooses to sit."
The photo shows a man in an empty airplane, with one passenger sitting behind him. Surprisingly, the photo stunned social media and quickly caught the attention of many, sparking a conversation online.
