I flew from Portland, OR to Chicago, IL about 15 years ago on a DC 10.
Only two of us in coach.
One in first class.
Closest I have come to flying solo.
And no, they did not upgrade us two coachers to First!
The only time I flew solo was in a Piper Warrior when I used to fly myself.
Those days are over. These days I let the commercial guys cart me around.
