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 was flying to meet family in Belfast from Faro, Portugal and 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. Project manager Paul travelled to the plane on a double shuttle bus all by himself and had his pick of the seats on the flight.
He says he was treated like royalty by cabin crew who called him King Paul while he stretched out on the front row and he even had a chat with the captain before take-off. Paul said: "It was like being on my own private jet. Someone told me a private jet is in the region of £28,000 and it'll probably never happen again.
