Celebrity and model Chrissy Teigen has won the hearts of much of America with her intelligence, wit, and beauty as well as her constant, hilarious takedowns of our incompetent president. The country loves to follow her escapades, so when a flight she was on went very wrong recently, her live account of the incident went instantly viral.
Four hours into a flight to Tokyo, Teigen, her husband superstar musician John Legend, and the rest of the passengers were forced to turn around and return to Los Angeles after it was discovered that one of the passengers was on the wrong flight, reports CNN.
The unauthorized passenger had somehow gotten on the flight, and the airline decided the safest bet was to turn around and bring all 226 passengers on a four-hour return flight to LA. An aviation source told CNN it was an “administrative mix-up.” It’s still unclear how the passenger managed to get on the plane.
Throughout the proceedings, Teigen unleashed an epic, hilarious tweetstorm, interspersing jokes with live updates, and riveting her audience. It was a lengthy ordeal, but the funny tweets ended up being a charming gift to her fans, reminding us once again why she is so beloved. Check them out below.
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

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

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.

Thankfully, everything worked out for her in the end. Hopefully, her trip to Tokyo is worth the time it took to get there and her return flight goes a little more smoothly!
