Chrissy Teigen live-tweeted her flight experience when the plane she was on reportedly had to turn back after four hours.

The All Nippon Airways flight, which was flying out of Los Angeles and headed to Tokyo, had to turn back “due to an administrative mix-up,” according to CNN.

A source told CNN that an unauthorized passenger was on the flight. The airline said in a statement that the “cabin crew notified the pilot that one of the passengers boarded the incorrect flight, and the pilot in command made the decision to return to the originating airport.”

The airline said it takes great pride in providing “exemplary customer service” but “failed to do so” on this flight.

{mosads}Teigen, who is often critical of President Trump, live-tweeted the whole experience, calling it a “flight to nowhere” and chronicling the information she had.

“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,” she tweeted Tuesday night.

“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.”

 

Teigen sent out several other tweets, saying she wouldn’t be able to sleep until she found out how the person on the flight figured out “they were on the wrong flight.”

“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,” she tweeted.

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

She said police were interviewing all of the people “seated around the mystery person once we got off the plane.”

She joked later that she was in a room with “water and a tv.”

“The government is using real housewives to keep me quiet !!!!!!” she tweeted, before tweeting out a picture of ramen and a picture of her and her husband John Legend.

 

In her most recent tweet, she said she was on another flight that was taking off.

“Taking off!!! Please don’t be the same menu please don’t be the same menu,” she tweeted.
