Supermodel, lip sync MC and unofficial Twitter commentator Chrissy Teigen just survived the plane ride from hell.
Halfway through her trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo, the plane had to be turned around because one passenger supposedly “[wasn’t] supposed to be on the plane.”
Like a hilarious citizen reporter, Teigen live-tweeted the entire ordeal from the sky, turning a potentially frustrating and headache-inducing incident into a hilarious piece of viral entertainment.
Here, the tale of Teigen’s tumultuous flight to Tokyo:
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

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.

There is a 20 minute interview before we can get off the plane!! This is my dream. Police! Talk to me talk to me

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

Being stuck on a plane with Chrissy Teigen for eight hours doesn’t sound so bad, tbh.
