Another Reason to Road Trip: Chrissy Teigen’s Flight Turned Around After Four Hours to Return a Mistaken Passenger
As automotive writers at The News Wheel, we like to encourage you to hit the road as much as possible for your travel needs. But sometimes, people don’t listen to us, and they end up situations like these.
Many of us are consistently entertained by Chrissy Teigen’s humorous quips on Twitter, but we were all glued to her feed for a different reason yesterday evening: four hours into her 11-hour flight to Tokyo, the plane turned around to return a passenger who had mistakenly gotten on board.
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

Now, we understand that a road trip across the Pacific Ocean isn’t exactly possible, but the same concept applies.

By the time they got on the second flight, their first one would have already landed in Tokyo. On the bright side, her second flight was completely Star Wars-themed:

Moral of the story, once again: opt for a road trip. You’re in control of your own travel, and you’re less likely to accidentally pick up a stray passenger.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, Chrissy and John (Legend, whose birthday occurred mid-flight) successfully made it to Tokyo this afternoon:
We are HERE!
