Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

Back in 2015 I flew UA from LHR to EWR. It was a 777 and we took off midday. Maybe 30-35 people on board.  I had about 12 rows to myself.  Needless to say, I stretched out and had a very nice nap.

We were once 6 people on an Alitalia flight from FCO to TLV

Best I had was 17 people MKE-FLL on southwest. Needless to say, they don't fly that route anymore. The kicker is that I paid for priority boarding (was day after yom tov so couldn't check in on time)

Used to get 30-40 people on the Sunday early AM non-stop flights from ISP to MDW on Southwest. Each of my kids would get their own row.

They stopped direct service from ISP to MDW not long after they got LGA gates.
