Have you been enjoying your Christmas break? Eating lots of food and necking lots of grog? That’s great. However, in taking your much deserved time off, you may have missed the shitfight that was Chrissy Tiegen and John Legend‘s flight from LA to Tokyo. She’s finally landed now, don’t you worry, but MY GOD was it a drama to get there.
The flight suddenly made a U-turn back to LA, oh, you know, just four hours into the flight after crew discovered an unauthorised passenger on board. Basically, there was a dude aboard without the proper ticket, which meant an eight-hour flight to go absolutely nowhere. COOL.
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

All Nippon Airways, the carrier blessed with the presence of Teigen, Legend, and the unnamed interloper, addressed the clusterfuck in a statement.
“During the flight, the cabin crew became aware that one of the passengers boarded the incorrect flight and notified the pilot,” the airline said.
“As part of the airline’s security procedure, the pilot in command decided to return to the originating airport, where the passenger was disembarked.”
So many questions and I have no answers. Either do they. This person must be mortified though

Because Tiegen is a human angel sent to us from the Twitter + long-legged heavens, she tweeted the whole bloody experience. We’re not going to put them in here, namely because the sheer volume would cause your browser shit itself, but you can check out the full account here.

As you can imagine, it wasn’t pretty. Teigen is preganté. With child. Up the duff. Flights are fucked enough as it is. But look, she got there in the end, tweeting about her arrival about an hour ago.
We are HERE!

We uhhhhh went ahead and cancelled our connecting flight to nagoya and 3 hour car ride for…obvious reasons…but are happy to stay here in Tokyo! We feel like young lovers again. Been a while since the ramen adventures of 2012!

But, because life’s cooked, she’s now on the hunt for a Nintendo charger. Poor diddums can’t catch a bloody break.
