Chrissy Teigen Hilariously Recaps Airplane Drama On Twitter
A plane heading from Los Angeles to Tokyo turned back because an unauthorized person was on board.
KABC-TV reports All Nippon Airways Flight 175 left Los Angeles International Airport around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, but it never arrived at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport.
Model Chrissy Teigen, who was on the plane, tweeted that the flight made a U-turn about four hours into the 11-hour flight.
a flying first for me: 4 hours into an 11 hour flight and we are turning around because we have a passenger who isn’t supposed to be on this plane. Why…why do we all gotta go back, I do not know

So many questions and I have no answers. Either do they. This person must be mortified though

Teigen says passengers were told that someone had managed to board the ANA flight with a United Airlines ticket.
This person is so lucky that we will all have to deplane. Imagine having to walk off alone. The shame!

I won’t be able to sleep until I know how this person figured out they were on the wrong flight. That’s all I ask. 150 people have been majorly inconvenienced, please, just tell me

Why did we all get punished for this one person’s mistake? Why not just land in Tokyo and send the other person back? How is this the better idea, you ask? We all have the same questions.

The plane landed at LAX around 7:30 p.m. after eight hours in the air.
Teigen says police interviewed passengers who were sitting near the person.
LAX —> LAX flight complete. Flight time, 8 hours and 20 minutes.

Airport police tell KABC-TV that there was a “mix-up” that’s been resolved, and the flight has been rescheduled to depart Wednesday.
