Private Jet

Having a private jet is not the preserve of the rich and famous it seems.  Just ask the woman known only as Beth.  When Beth was told her flight from Rochester New York to Washington DC was cancelled, airline staff booked her onto a new one.  The only problem was it was scheduled to depart eight hours later.  Faced with such a long delay, Beth took the opportunity to return home to spend more time with her parents.  But that meant she missed the message that passengers affected by the cancellation could take an earlier flight rather than wait for the later one.  It was only when Beth returned to the airport that she heard about the change of plan.  ‘I realized something was wrong when I was the only one in the waiting area 45 minutes before take off.’ As she explained on Reddit: ‘They made an announcement on the speaker but I’d already left to go back to my parent’s house nearby to wait for the next few hours. I was never contacted about the flight change.’  As all her would-be fellow passengers had taken the earlier flight, it meant Beth had the plane all to herself, that is apart from the two pilots and flight attendant.  After sharing her story on social media, Beth was inundated with questions about her trip, such as was she able to have as many snacks as she wanted and did she watch the safety demo.  She did watch the flight attendant go through the safety demo despite “awkward giggles”, but she did not eat anything as the flight was short. Other Reddit users think Beth missed a trick and shared their ideas of what they would have done had they been the ones on board.  User BeautifulRock wrote: ‘I would hit the request service button on every seat except mine, and just shake my head when they ask if I need anything?’ While user RelatableChad asked: ‘Did you at least run up and down the aisle?’  Begs the question what would you do if you had a plane all to yourself?
