Stowaway on international flight hid in plane toilets for hours
A passenger flew from New York to Paris for free and was met by police.
The woman took advantage of the situation and boarded a Delta Air Lines plane without a ticket.
The passenger managed to avoid document checks twice, the New York Post writes.
She took advantage of the chaos and huge lines at Kennedy Airport in New York on Thanksgiving eve.
Once on board, the woman hid in the toilets. She moved from one cubicle to another, pretending to be a passenger.
But the deception was revealed when one of her stays in the toilet dragged on. The flight attendants became suspicious of her. By that time, the plane was already approaching Paris.
The woman was detained, and the pilots contacted the ground and asked to call the police.
After landing, passengers were allowed to leave the plane only after the police took away a stowaway who had managed to cross the Atlantic for free and end up in the Old World.
For reference
A fare dodger is a passenger who evades paying for his or her fare, or a spectator who enters a performance without a ticket.
