Delta Flight Delay Causes Plane To Take Off With Just Two Passengers

Jan. 14, 2015
Flight almost took off with just one passenger before returning to the gate to pick up another.

After hours of delays, one New York-bound passenger thought that he was getting the private plane treatment when he boarded his flight and realized he was the only passenger.

The passenger, a Brooklyn-based man named Chris O'Leary, started tweeting about his amazement before the plane took off, saying how he got a personalized safety briefing and a one-on-one run down from the captain about the flight.

"It was definitely the most memorable flight I've been on in recent memory if only for the sheer lack of passengers to become bothersome," O'Leary told ABC News. "There were no screaming babies, no one listening to loud lyrics or reclining their seats or taking their shoes."

Although it seemed like he was getting to fly home solo, the plane ended up going back to the gate one last time to pick up a second passenger.
