If your plane is going to infuriate its passengers by turning around while halfway through an international flight, make sure Chrissy Teigen isn’t on board.
The model hilariously live-tweeted her and husband John Legend’s “flight to nowhere” when their Tokyo-bound All Nippon Airways flight turned around after four hours and returned to LAX. The crew apparently discovered an extra person on board the flight, and security protocol demanded that the plane turn around instead of simply continuing to its destination.
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

Doc and Kal talked about this ridiculous flight and what it reveals about airport security – or the lack thereof – on today’s show.
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

Teigen and Legend did eventually make it to Tokyo for sushi, according to her Twitter account.
