Many years ago, I was on a Reno Air Flight which I think was a 727 or 737: Reno-DTW red eye.
Grand total passengers was 9. The FA told people to sit anywhere including FC since obviously there would be plenty of room. Oddly enough 7 people ran to the front to sit in first class. 2 others (included me) decided to lie down across 3 seats in Y. :)

Only Pax here
 

I was the only pax on a COEX B1900 flight from LEX to CLE. As I boarded, they said "Mr. Trump, your plane is ready". I stood with my head in the cockpit for about 1/2 the flight. I wish I had my PPL then.

I flew IAD-ORD-MKE on United a few days after the airports reopened after 9/11/2001.

The first leg had me, my wife and 7 other pax's on a 767
The second leg on an RJ had one other pax

Thanksgiving afternoon 1999. Allentown, PA to Detroit on a Northwest DC-9. I was living in Seattle at the time and a manager for a retail operation. So...I had to be back at work for the day after Thanksgiving. Inhaled my turkey and pumpkin pie and ran to the airport...

It was me and one other guy.

Monday 12/27 I flew USAirways CUN-PHL. Total of 11 people. Maybe everyone was scared to fly into Philadelphia and lose their luggage. I did carry-on and had a great flight!

A little one and a big one:


Little:

Christmas morning 1984, puddle jumper from Cheyenne to Denver. Me, the pilot, the co-pilot, the flight attendant. Looking back now, I'm amazed the flight wasn't cancelled.


Big:

US Air 6 am flight one lonely morning MCI-DCA around 2000 or so. Probably 5-10 people in the whole plane, half of them in first with me.

Repositioning
 

AA flight from DFW-ORD in 1998. Chicago snowstorm the night before still had things tied up earlier in the day. Missed my connection in DFW; they put me on a 9:05 flight (with a 9*** flight #)...they were repositioning a/c and decided to put a few people on board while at it. MD-80, Me and 3 others. All invited up to F to relax and enjoy free booze. Nice!

Black Friday 2001 PIT->ABE on USAir. The end of my first MR. I think their might have been a total of 10 people on the MD 80 including the crew and I think 1 or 2 FA's commutting.

Recently I flew a red eye DEN-JFK on DL. There must have been about 30 people on a 737-300 so everyone had a row to themselves with nobody behind or infront!

End of September 2001 I flew LAX-SYD on ANZ in C. A 747-400 with about 40 people on it. The return wasn't much busier.

In 98 IAD-HPN on a j31 - just the flight crew and me. I was worried they would just cancel it but there must have been pax for the return!

In the mid-80's I was on a NW itinerary from BOS to SEA, connecting in MSP. Because of schedule constraints I took a 6 am flight from BOS to MSP. It was a 747, and it was pretty obvious that the only purpose of the flight was to re-position the aircraft (I assume for an int'l flight). As I recall, there were only two other passengers! The service was fine, but they didn't invite us into FC :(

When I was about 15 I was flying to a friend's New Years eve party -- from MSY to Montgomery, AL. the southeast got fogged in and I ended up spending the night at DL's expense in Jackson, MS. Early the next morning I was the only passenger on a DL or PA DC-8 to MSY that had landed in Jackson the night before. At that time DL and PA had an interchange to Europe (London, I think). I believe that it was PA equipment and picked up a DL crew in either WAS of NYC for the domestic leg. This was in the mid-1960s.

I've had a few:

1996 - HYA-ACK. Just the pilot, me and my pal, with about 15 bicycles for the 15 min hop over nantucket sound. I sat in the co-pilot seat of the cessna 402 (as I always tried to do on those Island Air flights).

1999 LHR-EDI. Myself and a colleague seemed to be the only two pax in the back of a 767 on the shuttle run. We had flown in from SFO and been assigned seats together, but quickly spread out. Due to the vast amounts of booze we had consumed on the earlier leg, I can't really remember the details, but we must have done something right as we both staggered of with duty free bags full of minatures and mixers provided by the stewies ^

2001 LDY-DUB. Just two pax on this BA/Loganair flight early on an Easter Monday morning. A Saab 340 (I think)

2001(?) BFS-SNN - 25 people on an EI MD-11 for the first leg of a hop to the US. All stayed on except for me and The Current Mrs. Bounty, who had hitched a ride with an obliging relative who crewed for EI to get to an Irish coffee festival in Co. Limerick. Getting back was a right pain in the posterior though....

2003 EDI-DUB - EI had laid on some extra flights to bring Irish revellers over to the Edinburgh Hogmany (New Years Eve) celebrations (which actually ended up being cancelled due to some extremely inclement weather). As usual, they had forgetten to advertise the flights in the UK, so we were able to pick up a last minute deal for something like £9 each way. So myself, TCMB and Bounty Jnr flew over for New Years in Dublin with less than 30 other people on a 737.

(whew, my longest ever post on FT!)

Twice I was the only passenger.

Once RFD (Rockford, IL) to MSP, and once Jamestown, ND to Devil's Lake ND. The ND flight started in MSP and everyone else got off in Jamestown and when I got off in Devil's Lake, no one else got on so it went back to MSP empty.

I was a travel agent at the time flying non-rev also! Both were small 19-seaters.

US Airways Express used to run a evening Saab 340 on the LAN to PIT run. It would arrive full, but I never saw it get above 3 people going out... Several nights they would just deplane and send it right on its way! I looked to see why and realized it only connected to 4 other US Air Flights, and 2 of those were michigan bound flights from PIT.

Also Skyway/Midwest Express in LAN never had more than 4 on their B1900 LAN MKE service.
