How low can you go…What are the fewest passangers you’ve traveled w/ in First
So last month, I was on a flight from OMA-DEN on a 757 in F it was a 6 AM flight, so I knew it would be very light for elites, but I was not expecting what I saw. When I got on the plane and stowed my bag in the overhead, the FA came up to me and said “put it up there however you’d like, cause you’re our only passenger up here”, needleless to say, I was surprised. I had never flown any flight in F where I was the only passenger. And the 2 FA’s working in F, kept commenting at how they had never see this before. So my question is this…
What is the longest flight you’ve taken w/ the fewest people up front?
Mine UA 493 OMA-DEN on 3/22 6am on a Saturday 24 seat capacity in F only one passenger.

I've also been the only passenger in F once. It was probably 8 years or so back and I was flying JFK to BOS (due to flight canceallations my original LAS-LAX-BOS, with no redeye had become LAS-LAX-JFK-BOS with a redeye). Very short flight and couldn't ever see myself upgrading a JFK-BOS only flight.

In most cases, I'm just elated when I have an empty seat next to me. More than 1 or 2 open F seats is rare these days.

2 Years ago, IAD-DEN on a three-class 777 it was just me and one other guy in F. I was 1K back then and got an op-up from upgraded C. ^^
The other guy thought I was insane because I spent the whole time playing with the seats and the controls. Hey... my first time in F on a three-class and I wanted to maximize the 3 hour flight to DEN!

Almost every non-RJ flight I've had on UA has gone out with a full F cabin. I can think of a few p.s. flights in C where some seats were empty, but that was some time back (2004 or '05).
I have had a few RJ trips where I was the only F pax, but those don't really count IMHO.
