As of 10am GMT, the madness is still going.
Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend boarded a flight to Tokyo out of Los Angeles last night that, four hours into the eleven hour journey, had to turn back because of a passenger Home Alone 2-ed themselves and got on the wrong flight.
And being the Twitter-reliable legend that she is, Teigen documented the whole thing.
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

So many questions and I have no answers. Either do they. This person must be mortified though

what is happening how do you know more than I do. I’m still in the sky! https://t.co/0c4q8TKcwN

Lmao after all this I will have spent 8 hours on a flight to nowhere. Like we were all just havin a great time up here flyin in the sky watching gran torino time to go home now

This person is so lucky that we will all have to deplane. Imagine having to walk off alone. The shame!

I don’t know why I’m not more upset about this. The pleasure I get out of the story is worth more to me than a direct flight to Tokyo
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
I won’t be able to sleep until I know how this person figured out they were on the wrong flight. That’s all I ask. 150 people have been majorly inconvenienced, please, just tell me
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Why did we all get punished for this one person’s mistake? Why not just land in Tokyo and send the other person back? How is this the better idea, you ask? We all have the same questions.

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

LAX —> LAX flight complete. Flight time, 8 hours and 20 minutes.

There is a 20 minute interview before we can get off the plane!! This is my dream. Police! Talk to me talk to me
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
they put our plane in a secure area. We can’t be near the common folk :(
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017

At this point, after more than six hours of travel only to be still in LAX, paranoia began to set in.
Still on the plane. Starting to get a little...as james franco in spring breakers would say... spicious
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
ok I’m officially ready to say something is up
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Police were interviewing all the people seated around the mystery person once we got off the plane. Why would they do this! I MUST KNOW MORE
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
no one will spill anything :( I wish I had more for you guys. I wish I could be your snowden

Then it all just became too much and tiredness started to set in.

But after a two-hour nap, she was ready to get back on the case.
I just woke up. Still here!
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
No one will answer my questions. I told them I won’t tell anybody but I think they know what’s happening here on the Twitter https://t.co/MlA69QUoHm
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Getting on another flight now oh bless
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Finally, all appeared normal. Until Teigen and Legend boarded their new flight and the whole affair was capped off with some randomness that is completely fitting for the day/night that they'd had.

All in all, Teigen was pretty chill about the whole thing, and at the end of it all, she really only had one concern.
Taking off!!! Please don’t be the same menu please don’t be the same menu
