Imagine boarding your next flight and having the entire cabin to yourself.
In this age of overstuffed planes, where we squeeze our bodies into cramped seats and jockey for overhead bin space, it sounds like a dream -- one that would never happen.
Monday's bad weather caused several flight delays in the Northeast. Flight 6259, which normally seats 76 people, from Cleveland to New York was delayed for hours.
So when the New York resident boarded, alone, he started tweeting about his experience.
They rebooked everyone but me on another flight to LGA, so I am literally the only person on this plane. pic.twitter.com/ZZNPACUOfR

O'Leary told ABC News that it was one of the most memorable flights in his recent memory.
"There were no screaming babies, no one listening to loud lyrics or reclining their seats or taking their shoes," he said.
After his story spread, he thanked the flight attendant for one of the best pictures of him in a while.
Reaction to this story from my mom: "I'm glad you got a haircut."
