I’ve never heard of this being successful anywhere.
Another article I read stated 77% of people trying this die.
I remember a young man successfully doing it from Nigeria or Afghanistan to London years ago.
While searching, I found this article from just six days ago. It's a young man's game.

It has been, but is very risky. The original case that popularized this was that of a Cuban kid who stowed away on a flight from Havana to Madrid. He was unconscious and very cold when he arrived, but he survived.
Apparently according to the Google it is successful about 13% of the time. Meaning 77% of the time you arrive dead. You die from lack of O2 and then freeze to death.
However, this happened just last week:
“An Afghan boy traveled from Kabul to Delhi by hiding in the landing gear compartment of a plane, Indian authorities have said.
From a CNN article about the incident.
There was another incident when an Algerian man survived a flight and was found just barely alive when it landed in Paris in 2023.
The boy, who authorities estimated was about 13 years old, was found wandering around the tarmac near where the plane had parked shortly after it had landed on Sunday morning,”
So Sorry, me bad at math.
It is successful 23% of the time.
Still not very good odds.
Less than 1 in 4. I probably would buy a ticket. even in coach.
“I’ve never heard of this being successful anywhere.”
Many have. Latest was last week.

It was successful at least once 30 or 40 years ago.The person ended up with severe frostbite.
