This is both terrifying and hilarious.
Our plane getting diverted back to the airport we came from four hours into a journey is pretty high on the list of things we wouldn’t like to happen to us, but Chrissy Teigen’s live tweeted her ordeal in hilarious fashion.
Chrissy and John Legend were supposed to be flying from LA to Japan for New Year but they ended up spending eight hours on a flight only to end up back where they started after an unauthorised passenger was found on board.
Chrissy tweeted:
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

what is happening how do you know more than I do. I’m still in the sky! https://t.co/0c4q8TKcwN

This person is so lucky that we will all have to deplane. Imagine having to walk off alone. The shame!

I don’t know why I’m not more upset about this. The pleasure I get out of the story is worth more to me than a direct flight to Tokyo
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Are u on here too?
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
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
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
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.

They keep saying the person had a United ticket. We are on ANA. So basically the boarding pass scanner is just a beedoop machine that makes beedoop noises that register to nowhere

LAX —> LAX flight complete. Flight time, 8 hours and 20 minutes.

— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Police were interviewing all the people seated around the mystery person once we got off the plane. Why would they do this! I MUST KNOW MORE
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017

No one will answer my questions. I told them I won’t tell anybody but I think they know what’s happening here on the Twitter https://t.co/MlA69QUoHm
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
But...4 people were detained. And we are hearing here it was, in the end, all a mixup that never should have turned the plane around. I just want to know an answer YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE

Well, here’s hoping their next flight will go without any hitches – that sounded like an intense trip!
