真爽!買了經濟艙卻感覺坐上了私人飛機
A lucky holidaymaker didn't have to worry about annoying seatmates, crying babies or a lack of space on his flight to an idyllic island – he had the entire plane to himself.
一位幸運的遊客在飛往度假小島的航班上，完全用不着擔心鄰座吵鬧、嬰兒啼哭以及座位擁擠。因爲他自己擁有了整架飛機。Alex Simon, 28, basically had his own private plane, as he was the only passenger who showed up for a Philippine Airlines flight as he travelled from Manila to Boracay.
今年28歲的艾利克斯·西蒙基本上擁有了他的私人飛機。他是菲律賓航空公司從馬尼拉飛往長灘島航班上的唯一一名乘客。The travel blogger, who lives in Ischgl, Austria, was stunned when no one else boarded the twin turboprop – leaving him alone with two flight attendants and two pilots.
這位旅行博主住在奧地利的伊施格爾。當他發現除自己以外，再沒有人登上這架雙渦輪螺旋槳飛機時，也驚呆了。飛機上只有他、兩名空姐和兩名飛行員。
Simon shot footage on board the domestic flight and even had a chance to enter the cockpit and chat with the pilots before the plane took off.
在西蒙登上這架國內航班後，他就開始到處拍照，在飛機起飛前甚至還得到進入駕駛艙與飛行員聊天的機會。Cabin crew had fun with the unusual situation, as they took turns filming Simon as he sat in his seat and walked off the plane.
機組人員也因爲這不同尋常的情況下來了興致，輪流給西蒙拍了他坐在座位上以及下飛機的照片。Simon told MailOnline Travel: 'When I arrived to the airport I just heard my name on the speaker, "Sir Alexander Simon, please come to the information."
西蒙對每日郵報的旅遊版表示："當我到達機場的時候，就聽到廣播裏叫我的名字：艾利克斯·西蒙先生，請速到問訊處。"'So the lady explained to me that I don't need to wait two more hours on my connecting flight, we're gonna start in 30 minutes because there are no more passengers except me.
"然後有位女士向我解釋，說我不用再等兩個小時轉接班機了，再過半小時我們就可以起飛，因爲除了我沒有別的乘客了。"'I was little bit surprised and I couldn't believe it. I thought I was dreaming. Later while boarding I just realised that it's gonna be a special flight because this time I didn't even need to line up.'
"我當時很吃驚，以至於完全不敢相信，覺得這是在做夢。直到開始登機我才意識到，這將是一次與衆不同的飛行，因爲這次，我甚至不用排隊登機了。"He added: 'I took my seat then I asked the flight attendant lady if I can sit next to the window. She just answered, "You can sit anywhere, because you're the only one passenger".'
他接着說："我坐在座位上，詢問空姐是否能坐到靠窗的位置。她說我可以坐在任何位置，因爲我是唯一的乘客。"The Austrian travel blogger took a seat in the front row and spent time chatting with the flight attendants
這位奧地利旅行博主選擇在前排的位置坐下，並且和空姐們聊了一路。He said: 'It was an unforgettable feeling to take a flight to the one of the most beautiful islands of the world, but to be alone and feel like a superstar it made it more special.'
他說："飛往世界上最美麗的島嶼之一的長灘島是一次難忘的經歷，但獨自乘飛機享受明星般的待遇更是錦上添花。"
