Chinese Woman Enjoys Solo Flight Home to Guangzhou from Wuhan Monday February 01,2016


This Chinese woman flew solo on a flight & became 'world's luckiest passenger' - find out how

 A chinese woman surnamed Zhang travelled solo on a China Southern flight from Wuhan to Guangzhou on Monday February 01,2016 when at least 100,000 Chinese travellers found themselves stranded at train stations in Guangzhou due to extreme weather conditions

Zhang documented her thrilling trip on Chinese social media platform Weibo and posted pictures of flight CZ2833 in which she was the only passenger with row after row of empty seats.
But did all this become a reality when China Southern flight, operated using a Boeing 737-700 aircraft, normally carried 137 passengers on an average?
As per AFP, the flight got delayed by 10 hours, and other passengers chose to depart on earlier flights.
Zhang, however, decided to take the original flight and flew solo to Guangzhou

That was what one lucky traveller in China experienced while flying home to Guangzhou for the New Year holiday on Monday February 01,2016

Delays meant all other passengers had swapped to an earlier flight, leaving Ms Zhang to enjoy the "rockstar" trip.

Flying rather than going by train also meant she avoided huge delays which saw around 100,000 people stranded at Guangzhou station

Ms Zhang documented her "happy" experience in a post on the popular Chinese micro-blogging platform Weibo.
"I felt so happy, it was a rare life experience for me and it was new. I felt like a rockstar," she told the BBC, adding that her family members were all mainly flying home for the holidays.

Her post drew hundreds of likes, shares and comments from Chinese netizens on Weibo.
"What a great way to fly, you are indeed very lucky to experience such hospitality especially at such a chaotic travelling period," commented one Weibo user referring to the annual human "migration" which sees hundreds of millions of people travelling across the country to return home in time for the Chinese New Year.
"Sister, you are clearly the world's luckiest passenger - cherish it," said another.

But others felt that it was "too extravagant" for an airline to be flying out chartered flights for only one passenger

Another user felt that the airline "should have just waited" and flown more passengers back. "Wasting fuel too," he added.

As for the cost of the golden ticket? The motor company employee values it at about 1,200 yuan (£126; $181).
"Because it was paid for by my company, I do not know its exact price," she said.
