Dad feels 'like a king' after he's the ONLY passenger on empty Jet2 flight

A dad turned up to the airport gate to discover he was the ONLY passenger boarding his Jet2 flight - so was called a 'King' by cabin crew and treated it like his own private jet.

Paul Wilkinson, from St Annes, Lancashire, was flying to meet family in Belfast from Faro, Portugal, on March 30, but started panicking when he got to his gate as there was no queue in sight.

The 65-year-old says that after asking airport staff if his flight had been delayed or cancelled, they told him that he was their VIP guest as he would be the only passenger on board.
