I flew LHR-BRU on a BA A-320 on Boxing Day in 2016. The flight left LHR at 8 AM and had 14 people on it. I was the sole passenger in Club Europe though the curtain was behind row 5. Once we took off the curtains were closed so it was just me in front and it felt very private jet like. That was a fun time.

Recently did Vegas to Nashville with 11 people on a 737-800. And a few of those were last minute re-routes or it would have been 5 I think.
The Gate Agent had fun and did the announcement in super fast talk, waiting a few seconds for the obligatory delay and then announced all the boarding zones in rapid fire.

Wife and I were the only two passengers in 1st class, Rome to Athens. Had spent a good hour in the lounge in the company of espresso and grappa. The FAs could just not fathom why we did not want to open and finish bottles of both a red and white wine. I wonder if they get to personally use the ones that are open? anyway gave into my doubt and had a glass of the red for me, and a glass of the white for the wife. I guess all concerned were happy.
I was on MANY flights where I was the only passenger in business class on short European segments, inluding AF, OS, BA, LX, LO and twice on SU (with real business class seats).

Tuesday SAT-ATL
Was supposed to fly SAT-ATL-CVG. 6:15 SAT-ATL was delayed with great risk of misconnect to CVG. 4:15 was full. Check in agent, noticed a previously cancelled 8am SAT-ATL flight due to mechanical was fixed and dispatched to ATL with crew only. She radioed the captain who agreed to take me on their 4:30pm departure. Spent the entire time speaking the ins and outs of Delta with 2 wonderful FAs, Phillip and Brittany.

New record for the closest I've ever come to being alone. SBY-PHL on an AA ERJ-145 earlier this year. Booked 4/50, one no showed so it was me and two other people. The gate agent still insisted on boarding by group numbers
