Teigen live-tweets ‘flight to nowhere’
In a year filled with some major in-flight meltdowns, model Chrissy Teigen chronicled yet another airplane mishap — although she managed to keep her sense of humor about the whole thing.
She and her husband, musician John Legend, were headed to Tokyo from Los Angeles on an All Nippon Airways flight Tuesday when, four hours into the ride, the plane changed course and returned to Los Angeles International Airport.
Teigen, pregnant with her second child, livetweeted the whole experience, including the airline’s reason for the about-face: A passenger ended up on the wrong flight.
She was remarkably good-natured about the whole experience.
“Lmao after all this I will have spent 8 hours on a flight to nowhere. Like we were all just havin a great time up here flyin in the sky watching gran torino time to go home now”
According to a statement from All Nippon, “during the flight, the cabin crew became aware that one of the passengers boarded the incorrect flight and notified the pilot. As part of the airline’s security procedure, the pilot in command decided to return to the originating airport, where the passenger was disembarked.”
“They keep saying the person had a United ticket,” Teigen tweeted. “We are on ANA. So basically the boarding pass scanner is just a beedoop machine that makes beedoop noises that register to nowhere”
