Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think it is:

Friends Natalie Wolfley and Savannah Sargent were flying home to Phoenix, Arizona, in the US, after visiting Salt Lake City for Natalie's bridal shower.

But, they were in disbelief when they arrived at the airport and a member of staff at Southwest Airlines, informed the pair that they were the only two to have booked seats on the plane, which holds 173...

...[They] shared what happened in a viral TikTok which has raked in 5.8million views...

...NFL team Philadelphia Eagles commented and said: "The fact that you're still in the same row at each other..."

Due to a family emergency, I had to fly into San Francisco the day after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.  The airport was closed for a time, lots of flights were canceled, and many people canceled their bookings.  I had to fly to Memphis and change to a flight to SFO.  It was a large plane and there were maybe eight other passengers aboard.  But that worked out OK, as I'd had to wake up in the wee hours to make the flights, so I lifted up all the seat arms on a row in the center section and laid down to sleep.
