Well, Hell, I Would Have Gone Too If They’d Asked Me
Telegraph - Plane flies five passengers from US to London
A major airline is under fire from environmentalists for flying an aircraft across the Atlantic with only five passengers on board.
The flight from Chicago to London meant that the plane, a Boeing 777, used 22,000 gallons of fuel.
It led to American Airlines being accused of reckless behaviour by green lobby groups.
The latest “eco- scandal” flight took place on February 9 after American was forced to cancel one of its four daily services from Chicago to London.
While it was able to find places for nearly all the passengers on the fully-booked flight, five still had to be accommodated. Those who did fly were upgraded to the business class cabin.
I mean really. You all know my email address! I check it regularly!

This sounds like a GREAT movie plot!
I picture a 1980’s John Hughes type of movie. Sort of like The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Five people from disparate backgrounds fly on a nearly deserted plane across the Atlantic. Love will blossom, friendships will be made. They got on as strangers, they landed as family.
We need a title…
Five For Flying.
Angst In The Air.
The Aviators’ Club.
On A Wing And A Prayer.
Jumbo Jet Junket.
Fly Me There.
A Flight In February.
London Calling.
Business Class.
Lonely Skies.
It’s two in the morning and I’m shooting blanks here.

They had a few weeks a couple months ago on the Mayo/Kermode movie reviews on Five Live with people texting in their best movie types, which quickly turned into a lot of what you have above.
Always amusing.
