The posh of a private flight and having all the plane to yourself, with no queues or disgruntled strangers, may look like the dream of most.
But one man goes viral now because he by accident gained experience on a private plane after his flight was delayed so over and over that nobody else stopped.
Within the video, which has been viewed greater than 32.1 million times, passenger Phil Stinger tells viewers that his flight was delayed 18 hours and that “everyone else has given up.”
Stinger was on an American Airlines flight from Oklahoma City to Charlotte, North Carolina.

The flight was originally scheduled to depart at 6:20 am, but didn’t take off until just after 12:00 the following day.
@phil.stringer An 18-hour delay turned this flight into a private party! ✈️? See how the amazing crew and I made probably the most of it! #American airlines #steward #airplanetiktok #private party #FlightFun #delayed flight #fyp #viral ♬ Makeba – Jain
He spent his time happily joking around with the flight crew (who he said had been pulled from their hotel to help him with in-flight service).
Stinger shows flight attendants through the complete boarding process and safety demonstration – in a completely empty plane.
Viewers were blown away by the content and the way the crew and Stinger gave the impression to be in good spirits.
“It was probably the highlight of their week. Getting paid just for caring for one person? Sign me up lol,” one user wrote.

“This makes me smile!! They still flew for you,” said one other.
Other flight attendants within the comment section praised the Stinger’s crew and confirmed that it was in reality a dream.
“I used to be a flight attendant for 10 years and it happened to me once. Our passenger’s name was Ben and I’ll always remember it!! What a fun!
“A flight attendant present – that is literally our dream scenario, especially when a flight is delayed. I’m glad you had a nice time,” added one other warm-hearted person.
The Stinger arrived safely in Charlotte just after 3 a.m. the following day.
American Airlines didn’t respond immediately entrepreneurs comment request.
