Only one on the plane
I mostly travel intra-Alberta on Dash-8s. I have probably done 200 segments in the last 3 years on Dash-8s. I recently experienced a situation which I haven't had before: I was the only passenger on the plane. The flight was the last flight of the day YEG-YYC. I had a checked bag and once arrived at the gate in YYC the ground crew simply handed my checked bag to me on the tarmac.
Anyone else have the plane to themselves?

Probably because they needed the aircraft at YYC in the morning.
Good..the FA and I just chatted.
No such thing on a Dash-8.

Not an entire plane but the entire upper J deck on an NH 747 HKG-NRT. Great, attentive service and my sake kept on getting refilled before I even realized it. It came to a point where I just told her "no more!".

Once I did a PVR-YYZ in J all alone, only 2 or 3 people in the back... Serivce was great. They timed the meal to whenever I got hungry.

i used to do GVA - BCN quite a bit and although i've never been the only person on the small airbus, i do remember a flight when there were three of us on board and many flights when there were fewer than ten pax.

I'm sure there was a similar thread a ways back
1984 or thereabouts, Kunming to Rangoon (I figure I'm better off not posting the codes in this case), couple of Chinese generals in the front, me in the back.
