A United Airlines passenger flew from Huntsville to Houston on Wednesday evening and had her own private jet. She was the only one onboard, aside from the crew. 

She describes one of the pilots as “such a goofy goober” and she got to visit the cockpit after the flight. She got her “own personalized pre flight announcements.”

I had something similar happen on an overnight from amsterdam. There was only like 4 of us on a plane for a couple hundred so we had to sit way spread out. No sandbags though.
