In a truly awe-inspiring moment for airport security everywhere, a 57-year-old woman managed to pull off the ultimate travel hack: sneaking onto a Delta flight from New York to Paris by hiding in the plane’s bathroom. Yes, folks, while the rest of us are being herded through endless security lines, she somehow strolled right past everyone and cozied up in the lavatory for hours. Genius? Maybe. Risky? Definitely.
Her adventure hit a snag upon landing in Paris when the French authorities, not exactly known for their sense of humor in such matters, noticed she didn’t have so much as a shred of valid documentation. Naturally, their solution was to send her back to the U.S.—but not before she caused a scene on the return flight, delaying everyone else’s travel plans. Because, apparently, if you’re going to stow away, you might as well go full diva.
Back home, the TSA and Delta are scrambling to figure out how this even happened. Was it a glitch in the system? A lapse in judgment? Or, perhaps, just the sheer power of confidence? Whatever the case, this little escapade has left everyone scratching their heads.
So, the next time you’re standing in line with your shoes off, fumbling for your ID and boarding pass, remember: somewhere out there, someone made it onto an international flight by hiding in the bathroom. Dreams, as it turns out, really do come true—just maybe not for long.
