The incredible journey of the only passenger on board a Boeing 737-800 to Italy

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) – A Lithuanian had a big surprise when he took his plane to Italy: he was the only pbadenger of the Boeing 737-800.

Skirmantas Strimaitis, who traveled from the Lithuanian capital Vilna to the Italian city of Bergamo on March 16 to ski, had all the air for him. The plane has a capacity of 188 pbadengers. The only other people on board were two pilots and five crew members.

The travel agency Novaturas announced having booked the plane to repatriate a group of people from Italy and prevent the plane from being empty, one way tickets were sold. Only one person bought one of these tickets.

Strimaitis said yesterday that the trip of more than two hours was "something that happens only once in his life". "It was incredible, unreal," he said.

"The crew seemed confused at first, it was a new experience for them too, I think it was an easy flight," he said.
