Two best friends recently found themselves in the middle of a viral sensation after boarding a Southwest Airlines flight where they were the only passengers on board. What started as a typical flight quickly turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience when they discovered that they were the sole travellers on a 175-seat commercial plane.
A Surprising Discovery
The adventure began when Natalie Wolfley and her friend Savannah Sargent boarded their Southwest flight, completely unaware that they would be flying in total solitude. In a TikTok video that’s since gone viral, Natalie captures the moment of realization, saying, “We have the whole plane… to ourselves.” The shock on their faces was clear, and it wasn’t long before they decided to turn the situation into an unforgettable experience.

As the plane took off, the two best friends were ready to make the most of their luxurious, albeit unexpected, upgrade. With no other passengers on board, their travel plans were transformed into a private jet experience.
A VIP Experience
The flight crew wasn’t going to let this moment pass by without celebrating. As Natalie and her friend made their way to their seats, the crew addressed them like royalty over the plane’s PA system, giving them the VIP treatment they had certainly not expected. “Welcome aboard…” a crew member said, followed by an excited “Woo!”—setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable flight.
But the fun didn’t stop there. In another surprise twist, they were invited to sit in the cockpit! Not many people can say they’ve had the opportunity to experience that, and the girls were more than thrilled to take advantage of the chance.
Viral Fame and Unexpected Gifts
The video of their exclusive flight experience quickly gained millions of views, capturing the hearts of viewers everywhere. Our BG Show producers even gathered reactions from fans, further amplifying the excitement around the fun-filled journey.
Southwest Airlines, noticing the viral success of their video, decided to reward the best friends with free tickets to travel home for an extra special occasion: Savannah’s wedding. Savannah expressed her gratitude in another TikTok, saying, “We are so… It’s been such a fun time.”
