Unticketed Passenger Arrested After Sneaking Onto Delta Flight to Honolulu from Seattle on Christmas Eve
Dec 27, 2024, 02:30 PM
On Christmas Eve, a woman was arrested for attempting to stow away on a Delta Air Lines flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) to Honolulu, Hawaii. The individual managed to pass through a TSA security checkpoint without a boarding pass, raising concerns about airport security during the busy holiday travel season. The stowaway was discovered as the plane was taxiing for takeoff, prompting the flight to return to the gate. This incident follows a previous case in November where another unticketed passenger was caught on a Delta flight to France. Delta Airlines has stated that it is conducting an urgent investigation into the matter, as this marks the second stowaway incident within a month, highlighting ongoing safety concerns in airport operations.
