First time I think I've had the CE cabin to myself out of Heathrow, very relaxing experience to GOT as a result!

Am wondering how frequently this occurs (I presume it must at least a couple of times a week) - the experience was a couple of notches better than usual as a result: no issues with meal choice, copious refills (non-alcoholic, had used up my daily quota before boarding), offers of extra rolls, cheese etc., no massive queue of people charging to be first off the plane, zero queue for passport control and arrived at bus stop 90 seconds before departure. And as 1A on G-MEDY also avoided those irritating fold-out-of-armrest tables.

Any tips for routes/flights where chances of this happening are increased?

(Oh, and an interloper into MY private cabin got booted out by the crew at one point - DHKWIA )
