Delta apparently contacted all of the passengers who were to be on the flight to Atlanta because there was going to be a delay, the newspaper reported. The airline was unable to reach Schneider because it had the wrong phone number for him.
Delta allowed Schneider to either keep his original flight or book a new flight, the newspaper said. He chose to stick around for his original flight, making him the sole passenger aboard the aircraft.

"At first I felt really bad because I didn't want the plane to only make the trip because of me," Schneider told WSB TV of Atlanta. "But after talking to a flight attendant at the gate, she said the plane needed to go back to Atlanta anyway."
