A US man from Brooklyn flew home in style on Monday, as practically the only passenger on-board a Cleveland-to-New York flight.
Chris O’Leary tweeted in disbelief after taking his seat as the solo flyer aboard a Delta regional plane and got incredibly personalised safety instructions from flight attendants.
O’Leary’s 9:39am flight home was delayed for hours, so he stayed in his hotel until the afternoon when it was finally going to depart, according to ABC News.
By the time O’Leary reached the airport, he learned that virtually all his fellow passengers had been rebooked on other flights and he somehow missed messages offering the earlier departures.

He added: “Just got a personal safety briefing from my two flight attendants.”

He tweeted out the image with: “No, I’m not joking. I’m the only one on this plane.”

— Chris O'Leary (@ohhleary) January 12, 2015 O’Leary was all set to get his personalised ride home, before the Delta plane rolled back to the gate and picked up one more passenger.
O’Leary didn’t mind sharing his flight.
“Part of this is my own stupidity but it ended up working out in my favor,” O’Leary told ABC, grateful that he missed all of the airline’s messages.
The thrill is gone, you guys. Just as we were about to push back, they reconnected the jet bridge to let a second passenger on the flight. 😥
— Chris O'Leary (@ohhleary) January 12, 2015 It’ll be a Cleveland-to-New York flight O’Leary will never forget.
“Well, this has been a interesting day,” he tweeted. “Who knew the simple act of getting on the plane you’re supposed to could amuse so many people?”
Even O’Leary’s mum saw his picture on Twitter.
“Reaction to this story from my mum: `I’m glad you got a haircut,’ “ O’Leary tweeted.
