A plane heading from Los Angeles to Tokyo turned back because an unauthorized person was on board. KABC-TV reports All Nippon Airways Flight 175 left Los Angeles International Airport around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, but it never arrived at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport. Model Chrissy Teigen, who was on the plane, tweeted that the flight made a U-turn about four hours into the 11-hour flight.A plane heading from Los Angeles to Tokyo turned back because an unauthorized person was on board.

Seems like a return ticket would have been cheaper.
Teigen said they were questioning the people seated around the person in question.
My wild guess would be the two whites and one Asian female were those sitting around the unauthorized person.
Yeah, fuel-dumping isn’t appreciated that much anymore.
Japan has strict rules re who enters their country.
Someone who passed our lax rules, didn’t pass Japan’s strick rules.
The authorities in Japan told the plane’s captain, that he could not land in Japan.
So the captain turned his plane back around to go back to LAX.
There was a story years back about a slightly drunk passenger who ended up in New Zealand from LAX. He was supposed to go to Oakland and ended up in Auckland. Apparently slept through 12 + hours.
Can only be done in an emergency
A story so nice, they had to tell it twice?
But that person would have to exit the plane while it is being services for the return trip.
According to this link, there is a good chance that the aircraft doesn't even have fuel dumping capabilities... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_dumping .
LOL That wouldn’t surprise me at all. Can just see her going into a full out melt down! “Do YOU know who I AM???”
Mrs. Ada Quonsett ?
That Oakland/Auckland issue was the first thing I thought of. Remember it well.
Do not use an acronym or initialism without defining it first,
I was on a flight once where six people were on the wrong flight. I was one of them. All six of us were supposed to be on the same flight to a different destination. We didn’t know each other. They had led us down some stairs and to the tarmac. We got on the closest jet. Apparently there was another jet we were supposed to get on.
Somebody heard something and did something about it. A necessary and welcome inconvenience.
And no pictures of young Ms. Tiegen? I’m stuned!
More than tired of this entitled, leftist’s whining about everything.
