Private jet from Portugal

A LUCKY air passenger was left in astonishment when he realised he was the only passenger on board a scheduled Jet2 flight.

As reported in a news outlet, Paul Wilkinson, 65, from St Annes, Lancashire arrived at Faro airport in Portugal on March 30, only to be informed that he was the only passenger. Hailed as a ‘king’ by Jet2 staff, Paul was literally treated to a luxury private jet experience.

On arriving at the airport, Paul’s initial reaction was panic when he got to the depar­ ture gate with no queue in sight. Asked if the flight had been delayed or cancelled, airport staff told him that he was their VIP guest.

He said "The service was second to none. They did a one­on­one safety demonstration; we took photographs, and the captain came out and spoke to me.

Paul paid £130 for the three­hour flight, and had three cabin crew at his 'beck and call'. He added, "It was like being on my own private jet.”
