An NH 763 ER from FUK to KIX, just me and 8 flight attendants and 2 pilots. Plane took off like a rocket ! I sat where-ever I wanted, and got to sit in the cockpit over Shikoku, Island.

I had a private plane to myself maybe 5 years ago. YOW - YUL. Last flight of the night. I checked in, went to the bathroom near the gate, came out, and the gate attendant came out and said; Mr DuckBill, your private plane awaits.
Yeah, I just chatted with the FA. She said, when there are no passengers they'll play music over the speakers, and she'll be in the cockpit.

Not only one, but recently there were only 8 pax on ZRH-MUC with an LX Avro. When I came to the gate, there were only 2 of us, but they expect 8 more. However, only 6 of them turned up. There was nothing special except that they told everybody (actively) they can move to a different seat if the want (the seats assigned were all in just two rows in Y) ...

YUL-YOW for me. I was actually flying YUL-YOW-YYZ, using only 1 Rapidair flight pass credit, and doubling my miles/segments.
Really, when you think about it, it's only a 2hr drive. I would imagine very few people would fly this route, except maybe to catch a connection somewhere else.

No but I was on a TATL AMS-LGA on an all biz class....
....OPEN SKIES flight with only 9 passengers aboard.
....even with so few passengers they still screwed up the meal service (my food was partially frozen when served).

This happened to me a number of times in the early 1990s, flying back in a Dash 8 from YYT-YAY on Sunday evenings. Perhaps that's why AC doesn't fly there anymore...

7 of us on a Northwest 747 from ORD - LGA, we had 2 FAs each. It had come from NRT and everybody got off at ORD, the 7 of us got on. We tried but couldn't drink the plane dry, even with the cabin crew cheering us on.
