Chrissy Teigen Live Tweets 8-Hour Nippon Airways ‘Flight To Nowhere’ After Passenger Boards Wrong Plane
Chrissy Teigen was an unfortunate passenger of All Nippon Airways’ eight-hour flight to nowhere. Teigen live-tweeted the experience as it unfolded, giving her audience a sample of her tedious experience.
CHRISSY TEIGEN LIVE-TWEETS 8-HOUR FLIGHT TO NOWHERE
Teigen and her husband, John Legend, were among the 150 passengers on the plane. The flight left Los Angeles at 11:36 a.m. on Tuesday. Although it was intended to arrive in Tokyo, it instead landed back in Los Angeles on 7:33 p.m. The unplanned return back to Los Angeles was a consequence of a passenger who accidentally boarded the wrong plane.
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!

Teigen’s biggest question was why the airline decided to return to L.A. instead of continuing en route to Tokyo. She “won’t be able to sleep” until she has the answer to this question.
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.

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

Another passenger who was onboard for the lengthy ordeal tweeted an image of the bizarre flight path:

After the plane arrived back in L.A., Teigen continued her updates:
There is a 20 minute interview before we can get off the plane!! This is my dream. Police! Talk to me talk to me

they put our plane in a secure area. We can’t be near the common folk 🙁

Still on the plane. Starting to get a little…as james franco in spring breakers would say… spicious

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

Teigen diligently remained on Twitter to share the experience, and the tweets embedded in this article are only a sample. Earlier today, All Nippon Airways issued a statement to CBS News, and they tweeted out an apology for the passengers they inconvenienced:
We apologize to all of our passengers on Flight 175; we failed to deliver the customer service we strive for. Thank you all for your comments and allowing us to connect, learn and serve you better. We welcome ongoing feedback to understand how we can work to make this right.

On a more positive note, a fan of Teigen’s and Legend’s enjoyed getting to meet them:
