He was the only passenger in the 3-hour flight. Ticket cost just Rs 13,000

For Paul Wilkinson, it was one of the biggest surprise of his life. He found that he was the only passenger on the entire plane . According to a New York Post report, the UK man was flying to Northern Ireland from Portugal on March 30 on a Jet2 flight. Jet2 is a low-cost European airline and also operates chartered flights.

The three-hour flight only cost him $162 or about Rs 13,000.

At the airport, Paul Wilkinson was first surprised when there was no one in the line, except him, at the airport gate for his Jet2 flight. Sure enough, finding it strange, he asked the airport staff if there was a delay or cancellation of his flight. The airport staff said that he was “VIP guest.”


According to Wilkinson, the report said, holidaymakers were supposed to come back in the flight but none of them turned up.

Wilkinson also said that back at the Belfast airport, staffers could not believe that he was the only one on the plane.

A spokesperson for Jet2 told SWNS, “We are delighted that Mr Wilkinson was able to experience our award-winning customer service in true VIP style.”
