In an interview with DailyMail, Alex Simon stated “When I arrived to the airport I just heard my name on the speaker, ‘Sir Alexander Simon, please come to [information],’” Simon was quoted as saying. “So the lady explained to me that I don’t need to wait two more hours on my connecting flight, we’re gonna start in 30 minutes because there are no more passengers except me.”
“I was [a] little bit surprised and I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was dreaming. Later while boarding I just realized that it’s gonna be a special flight because this time I didn´t even need to line up. I took my seat then I asked the flight attendant lady if I can sit next to the window. She just answered, ‘You can sit anywhere, because you’re the [only] passenger,” he added.
According to the Austrian blogger Alex Simon a staff member from PAL told him that flights to Boracay are “usually packed.”
