A UK man, who was flying to Northern Ireland from Portugal to meet his family, was astonished when he found out that he was the only passenger on the entire plane.
Paul Wilkinson even asked the airport staff if there was a problem with the aircraft, or a delay or cancellation. To his surprise, the staff called him a 'VIP guest' as he would be the only person onboard.
A UK man, who was flying to Northern Ireland from Portugal to meet his family, was astonished when he found out that he was the only passenger on the entire plane.
According to a , 65-year-old Paul Wilkinson smelled something fishy when he saw no one else standing in line at the boarding gate for his Jet2 flight. He even asked the airport staff if there was a problem with the aircraft or if he missed any announcement regarding a delay or cancellation.
To his surprise, the staff denied any issue and called him a 바카라VIP guest바카라 as he would be the only person onboard.
Wilkinson was not convinced. 바카라I thought they were having a laugh,바카라 he told South West News Service. 바카라I thought I was early or late. I kept thinking they were going to say my flight had been canceled.바카라
Wilkinson further said that once he boarded the flight, the cabin crew referred to him as 바카라King Paul바카라, and it went on throughout the flight. "It felt like my own private jet," he told the outlet.
He got to pick his own seat 바카라 chose the usually high-priced front row 바카라 and even spoke to the captain before the plane took off for Belfast.
바카라I think it was a total one-off,바카라 Wilkinson said, adding that he found out that the plane was supposed to carry holidaymakers from Portugal but 바카라there was no one to come back바카라. 바카라It was pure luck that I needed to go to Belfast,바카라 he said.
Comparing his experience to a private jet, the sole passenger said, 바카라Someone told me a private jet is in the region of £28,000 [Rs 25 lakh] and it바카라ll probably never happen again.바카라
The three-hour flight had only cost him $162 (Rs 13,000).
Wilkinson also got to skip the lines at both passport control and baggage claim as there was no other passenger. He told his experience to the staff working at passport control who couldn바카라t believe that he was the only one on the plane.
바카라It was just surreal. I went for a walk around the plane, I had a pick of the toilets,바카라 he exclaimed.
A spokesperson for Jet2 later told SWNS, 바카라We are delighted that Mr Wilkinson was able to experience our award-winning customer service in true VIP style.바카라
