Chrissy Teigen’s tweetstorm while being stuck on 8-hour flight to nowhere
Superstar couple Chrissy Teigen and John Legend boarded a flight from LAX to Tokyo late in the evening on December 26. The flight went smoothly for the first four hours of that 11-hour flight, until the airline – All Nippon Airways – realized one of the passengers on board managed to sneak onto the airplane without a ticket. Placing safety and security above the convenience of the other passengers on board the flight, the airplane turned around and headed back to LAX, according to Buzzfeed.
“The cabin crew notified the pilot that one of the passengers boarded the incorrect flight, and the pilot in command made the decision to return to the originating airport,” the airline said in a statement. An investigation is underway to determine how the passenger was able to board the wrong flight.
