2 Women Are the Only Passengers on 175-Seat Southwest Plane, Receive Once-in-a Lifetime Experience

Mar. 15, 2025

These TikTokers proved there is still such a thing as a luxury flight experience — but even they couldn’t predict it.

Before reaching the gate for their Southwest Airlines flight back home to Phoenix from Salt Lake City, best friends Natalie Wolfley and Savannah Sargent learned that their flight would not be what they expected.

In the now-viral video Wolfley shared onTikTok, both women expressed pure joy and confusion on how all the right circumstances led to the aerial miracle. “How does that happen?” Sargent asked the airport staffer. “I was like, ‘Does this ever happen?’ and he was like, ‘No.’”

In the video, the flight attendant hilariously began each announcement, “Alright, Savannah and Natalie,” over the PA system while looking directly into Wolfley’s camera.

Wolfley also kept priorities in order, noting that the two women would have the best “yap session” since they could be as loud as they wanted without disturbing sleeping passengers. “We’re going to have the best yap session of my life. No one’s going to hear us,” explained Wolfley. “We are 10,000 feet in the air, yapping away, loud as we want on this plane. ”

As if their legendary ride couldn’t get more incredible, the passengers were able to sit in the cockpit of the plane and have a one-of-a-kind photoshoot before departing.

Since the original post, which has now amassed nearly 6 million views, Southwest Airlines has contacted Wolfley and offered her and Sargent free tickets to travel home for Sargent’s wedding.

“They gifted me and Sav flights home for her wedding this March,” Wolfey shared ina follow-up post. “Thank you for helping us make these memories that we’re never going to forget.”

Flights with very few or no passengers often continue with their journey as planned in order to reposition planes for future routes. Other times it’s to transport flight crew or cargo to the location of their next departure.
