How an American Airlines traveler found himself as the only passenger on a flight

A North Carolina man found out what it’s like to fly private with his own flight crew — all aboard an American Airlines plane.

Phil Stringer, who documented the rare solo passenger flight on his TikTok channel, was the only passenger left on his Oklahoma City-to-Charlotte flight that was delayed for 18 hours on Sunday due to a maintenance issue.

“I’m the only person on this flight, and they have an entire flight crew,” he said. “They do not want to do this flight.”
