Anyone who flies often has likely encountered some kind of issue that's delayed them, but yesterday Chrissy Teigen had something crazy happen on her flight - and she live-tweeted the whole thing.
.@chrissyteigen is on an international flight that turned around 4 hours in because a passenger isn’t supposed to be on plane. Look at this flight path! This is my Twilight Zone. pic.twitter.com/II06VmfOah

The model and her husband, John Legend, were four hours into an ANA flight from LA to Tokyo when the pilots turned the plane around because of a stowaway. Chrissy kept her followers up to date on everything:
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

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

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
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.

It was a memorable flight for everyone, especially the pair's seatmate:

Once back in LA, authorities wanted to chat with people on the plane, but Chrissy couldn't get more info on what went down.
There is a 20 minute interview before we can get off the plane!! This is my dream. Police! Talk to me talk to me
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Still on the plane. Starting to get a little...as james franco in spring breakers would say... spicious
— 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 spill anything :( I wish I had more for you guys. I wish I could be your snowden
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
*quits whatever my job is to devote my life to this likely very simple mistake*
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
When they finally got off the plane, airline officials seemed to take good care of the celeb couple, setting them up in a lounge and providing them with the essentials.
I’m in a room with water and a tv! The government is using real housewives to keep me quiet !!!!!! https://t.co/ypPVjAF85C

This morning, Chrissy had time to review everyone's comments from yesterday's incident and compiled the best of them:
I just woke up. Still here!

She didn't have much more info on yesterday's flight but was able to board another:
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
Getting on another flight now oh bless
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Today's flight was also memorable, but for a very different reason:
Yoda is in a seat and they’re playing Star Wars music

Teigen did have one fear about her second attempt at getting to Japan:
Taking off!!! Please don’t be the same menu please don’t be the same menu
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Here's hoping she and John made it without any other problems, and a new menu.
