A COUPLE was left stunned after they booked an easyJet flight to Greece – only to find the plane completely empty.
TikTok user countrywandering who often shares money-saving tips explained that they had booked flights to Skiathos Airport.
However, as they boarded the easyJet flight, they realised they were just one of four passengers on the very empty plane.
They wrote in the video: "Probably the strangest flight so far. We got to speak to the pilot who gave us some travel tips and recommendations on where to go next."
They also said that airport staff thought it was "hilarious" when they were boarding the flight.
They joked "welcome to our private jet" and even got their separate announcements from the pilot as well as being allowed to sit in whichever seat they wanted.

One person wrote: "This would be my ideal way of flying."
Others shared their own experiences of having a flight to themselves.

It's not the first time it has happened – another passenger was surprised to board an empty flight to Greece earlier this month.
Jak Scott was travelling with Jet2 from Edinburgh to Greece when he was told his flight would be nearly empty.
Despite paying just £59 for his ticket, he ended up getting a private jet experience in the near-empty cabin.
He told Edinburgh Live: "I got to the gate early was confused why no one else was going through, it wasn't until they did the final call I got up and went to the desk, and the service agent walked me to the airplane door and told me it's only me and two other people.
"I thought it was some sort of strange joke until I entered the plane."
Another person it happened to was Kai Forsyth.
