Nah, airlines have their planes in a complex web of routes all dependent on each other, that plane would fly regardless because after it gets (if it got there heh) to the next airport it would also prob have a route from that airport to another

Exactly. I was on an empty flight red eye PDX to Boston. Didn't get cancelled, but what sucked that they didn't have first class, so I still had to be crammed into those tiny seats. Couldn't sleep as always.

At least there wasn't a screaming baby, a moron kicking your seat, or someone eating steamed broccoli sitting next to you.

What if there was only one other person on the plane, and it was a screaming baby that kicked the seat while eating broccoli?

At least you can change seats? 🤷

no, not the steamed broccoli!

Hahaha it seems anecdotal, because it is. On a plane it smells like someone opened a box of farts.
