British Airways Passenger Flies Alone on United 737

A British Airways flight from London Heathrow to Chicago O’Hare was diverted to Cincinnati due to adverse weather conditions. One of the passengers was then rebooked onto a United Airlines flight from Cincinnati to Chicago.

However, United Airlines Flight UA1813 was delayed by around six hours due to the same weather conditions. As other passengers switched to alternative flights or abandoned their travel plans, the passenger ended up being the only person on board the Boeing 737.

The passenger said the crew allowed him to sit anywhere in the cabin, visit the cockpit for photos, and even made special announcements during the flight.

The aircraft departed for Chicago O’Hare Airport with just one passenger on board.

Two British Airways flights from London to Chicago had been diverted to Cincinnati that day because of storms.
