The person had a United ticket. 150 people have been inconvenienced due to this fact. Passengers were held on the plane for at least 20 minutes after it landed. The police were interviewing people seated around the “unauthorized person.”

American model Chrissy Teigen, a passenger on ANA 175, repeatedly tweeted about the episode to 10 million followers.
