Ever Been In A Really Quiet Cabin?

[Iberia A340-600]

I was just looking back at this thread:

Which has this picture in it:

That I took while we were waiting for push back and I had a flash back to the flight. I don't think I have ever been on such a quiet flight. The cabin was absolutely silent the entire 3hr flight to JFK, well except for the GE engines. Granted the flight departed at 11:00pm and got into JFK at 1:15am but I have been on louder flights across the Atlantic!

Anyone experienced a pin drop silence cabin before?

Turbulence causes that... I really enjoy seeing people get all freaked out and shut up when the "turbulence" starts rocking the flight.


How about a flight in a MD-80 with no more than 14 people ATL-MGM at 11pm. Awsome experience. Almost feels like your personal MD-80

A couple times I experienced flights literally being the only person on an entire 767-300. It was work related, but still, it's a lot of fun having 247 seats to yourself.

Try having 400. :)

I just worked two flights both to dallas, one had 11 people on board and the other 20, man would I have loved to be on that flight!

One I have flown on was only 9 people total MCO-STL TWA L1011, we had more crews then passengers.

Quiet and quaint.

One time I was on a UA 757 SEA-DEN and there was 12 people on board, combine that with the fact that it was a six A.M. departure and you get one quiet flight.
