edpaffjr.comI was on one of the least crowded flights of my life last night. We were on Southwest and after no one boarded in the business select group (seats A1-15), I estimated the crowd to be 45 strong. There are 60 total spots in the A boarding group and I didn’t think we had anymore than that. After everyone was on, one of the flight attendants took the final count of 46. I couldn’t have been any closer.
Anyway, the Boeing 737 that seats 137 at full capacity, was far from full. On top of that, Kim has been flying a lot for work recently and noted that the flight was one of the more crowded she’s seen. Yes, you read that correctly. Her flights earlier this week to Salt Lake City and back had on average 15 people on them. And these were on Frontier’s similar sized Airbuses.
Because of the low demand for flights currently, and the slow economy, there are some incredible deals out there for anyone with money to spare. I know we are looking to take some trips after ski season is over. Speaking of which, get some flights out to Denver for visit!
