Beth VerSteeg took a selfie showing rows of empty seats behind her on the lonely flight from Rochester, New York, to Washington, DC.

She took to Reddit to share the envy-inducing story of the solo flight, which only had one flight attendant — who still gave the safety spiel for her audience of one.
