A woman flying back from Ibiza got the plane to herself - as the only passenger.<br /><br />Hannah Maden-Adams, 38, was treated like a VIP on the £188 flight - after she turned up alone.<br /><br />She had been in Ibiza celebrating her birthday with friends and expected to hop on a normal flight home.<br /><br />But to her surprise the flight from Ibiza to Jersey was completely empty apart from herself and the crew. <br /><br />She was chauffeured from the boarding gate to the plane in a car and even got some top holiday tips from the pilots as they were flying back.<br /><br />The luxurious flight cost just £188. <br /><br />Hannah, from Jersey, said: “It sounds cheesy because I'm just a normal person, but it felt really exciting being taken in a car to the aircraft and then being the only person to board. <br /><br />“It was very surreal, but it was just fun as well - how often does something like that happen <br /><br />“Normally flights are absolutely packed, you’ve got kids, families, groups of people all talking and laughing. <br /><br />“Instead, they said sit where you like and put your luggage where you like <br /><br />“I went for a window seat – I decided to sit up near the front as I like to see the view.” <br /><br />Hannah, who works as the founder of a communications agency, had been enjoying a birthday holiday in Ibiza with friends and had booked a convenient flight home from the island to Jersey on Thursday 6 July. <br /><br />However, when she arrived at check-in, staff were insistent that there were no flights going from Ibiza to Jersey, with some staff saying they had never even heard of the place. <br /><br />She finally managed to check-in but when she arrived at the gate, Hannah says she began to wonder where the other passengers were. <br /><br />It wasn’t until the gate was opened that a member of staff informed her she was the only passenger. <br /><br />A private car collected her from the gate and drove her to the plane where she was greeted by cabin crew who were equally surprised by the unique private jet experience. <br /><br />They informed her the first flight from Jersey to Ibiza had departed that morning, and they hadn’t expected anyone would be flying back that afternoon. <br /><br />And when she landed in Jersey, she was escorted through arrivals which had been specially opened just for her – but she says she still had to wait for her bags to arrive at baggage claim. <br /><br />“I didn’t know how busy it would be, but I didn’t expect to be only one - I didn’t think they would fly if there was only one passenger but they had to get plane back to Jersey, so the flight was going anyway,” said Hannah. <br /><br />"I had no idea I was the only person until that very last moment at the gate before going to the plane. <br /><br />“After the weird experience at check-in I wasn’t convinced that I even had a direct flight. <br /><br />“The staff and pilot said they had never flown just one passenger on one of their planes before. <br /><br />“When we were in the air the pilots were so kind, I thought it was a really nice personal touch, the pilots were pointing out various locations and recommend destinations for holidays.
