This flight was a sight for sore eyes.
A mom and daughter were pleasantly shocked to learn that they’d be amongst a small handful of passengers onboard a large, international-bound flight.
The lucky pair, Zoe Doyle, 25 and her mother Kimmy Chedel, 59, were so excited to be the one two in economy seating that they took the time to shoot videos and check out on the hats of flight attendants instead of typical boarding misery.
“We had no idea we were the one ones,” Doyle told SWNS.
Flying from the Seychelle Islands to Switzerland with a layover in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Doyle credits two aspects for the extraordinary surprise.
“Since it was monsoon season within the Seychelles, in addition to being Christmas day, it just meant nobody was flying I suppose,” she said mentioning that firstclass had a slim amount of passengers as well.
“They said it never happens.”
But Doyle and Chedel — who were heading to a Christmas celebration of their very own — weren’t the one two having fun within the air because the cabin crew also got in on the de facto festivities.
We got a bit of tour of the plane, although we still weren’t allowed into firstclass.
“It was a lot fun. We were chatting with the flight attendants and filming funny videos with them,” she added. “They even got a Polaroid camera out and dressed my mom up within the cabin crew uniform. It was great.”
Doyle, originally of Montreal, Canada, and later Cape Town, South Africa, even made pretend snow angels within the vacant aisles of the plane to have a good time.
The crew also offered the mom and daughter very fun tours while on board.
“All of the flight attendants were so excited that it was empty.”
Their nice travels come as a stark contrast to a recent Alaska Airlines flight which had a door plug horrifyingly blow out while midair.
