The flight, from Seattle to Honolulu, was preparing for takeoff when crew members discovered the unticketed passenger onboard, leading to the plane returning to the gate on Christmas Eve on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
Delta Airlines said that safety protocols were followed, resulting in the passenger’s removal and subsequent detention by law enforcement.
The identity of the person has not been released.
“As there are no matters more important than safety and security, Delta people followed procedures to have an unticketed passenger removed from the flight and then apprehended," Delta said in a statement. "We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels and thank them for their patience and cooperation.”
A Russian woman living in Philadelphia, Svetlana Dali, boarded a Delta nightime flight from JFK International Airport in New York City to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, on Tuesday, Nov. 26, without a boarding pass.
She had been turned away at a TSA checkpoint for not having a boarding pass but then returned and entered "through a special lane for airline employees" with a large group of airline crew members, the FBI said.
RE: a woman without a boarding pass, Svetlana Dali, boarded a Delta nightime flight.
Authorities confronted her later:
“Well hello, Dali”.
Was her dad’s name Salvador?
Allowed in special lane for employees.
Probably looked like a young Angelina Jolie.
“Where’s your boarding pass?”
“I always carry it in the round garter on my thigh. Why don’t you look?”
“Just go through, ma’am.”
Perhaps I don’t travel enough, but every airport I’ve been through, Aircrew had to provide ID. Perhaps the trip to and from Hawaii is more dangerous?
“The identity of the person has not been released.”
Definitely a special person...
Ha.
The multimillion copy selling author and surgeon Dr.Maxwell Maltz (Psycho-Cybernetics, The Conquest of Frustration) was a personal friend of Salvador Dali and the artist painted a large painting for him of a person symbolically representing the artist emerging from a dark past of depression and anxiety. The revised edition shows it on the cover. Somehow, the painting was stolen and never found. The publisher reached out to readers to help but no one located the original.

Did you see her photo .
More like a sneaky scary devious Russian bread line person .
Just learn a few lines of Spanish and declare to be an illegal alien
Ask her what time it is. If her watch looks like it’s melting, she might know something about Papi Salvador.
This may not have been her first first free trip...
I was flying out of Phoenix a few years ago and was seated on the plane when I realized that the Delta service counter gave me the wrong boarding pass.
Three times airport and TSA security looked at my passport and boarding pass side by side and never noticed that they were two totally different names.
The only reason it was caught was that the actual ticked passenger told me that I was in his seat. I was. Now I just use my phone and have no problems.
