Late 1970's, an early morning flight from YYZ to MIA on an L-1011. Crew had brought the aircraft in late the night before, and we had to wait about an hour and a half for them to reach their needed rest time before flying our flight. Finally boarded to see that the entire aircraft had only about 10 pax on it for the flight.

Those wonderful wide body L-1011s with five seats in the center in coach, often all empty. Even with a first class upgrade I often moved to coach on cross country flights to grab a row of empty seats and stretch out. Thank goodness there was no turbulence in the 70s :>)
