I flew YQR-YYZ on an E90 once. There were nine passengers. Two of them were my travelling companions. That's not quite as exciting as being alone on a flight, but we had more empty seats than your flight did.

Given the length of the flight (USAF can't fly over Iran for obvious reasons), the flight crew was pretty good to us. We got microwaved pizza and access to their cooler of soft drinks.

I'm surprised they did that. No doubt you're a very good gal/guy, but I'd guess you then carried this bag through the airside area of the terminal, without it ever having been screened by CATSA. Bit of a no-no on the part of the ground crew, but pretty convenient for you!

While I wasn't by myself, it was a Dash 8 and there was probably 5 or 6 of us on board. The flight attendant said loudly "Does anyone speak french?" we all said "no" and her response was "Great! No french announcements today!" and she did the entire flight in English.
It was appreciated, but I got a feeling it was breaking the rules and she could of got in trouble. This was probably around 2001.

We flew from Cuba when there was a changeover causing packages all inclusive for 16 nights.. 5 other people were on board besides us.. on a huge 2-3-2 configuration plane..
The package was super cheap.. $2,400 for 2 persons taxes in all inclusive for 16 nights.. We stayed in an ocean front one-bedroom suite.. truly amazing..

One of 4
I was one of 4 passengers on an overnight 757 from IAD to Orly once. Day after a holiday, though. Still, I suspect they must have really needed that plane in Paris the next morning.

Flew PHX-HNL with US 5 years ago and had the whole of the back section of Y to myself - there were only 16 people on the outward flight. My return flight wasn't much more populated with about 40 pax in total.
