I am shocked SHOCKED I tell you. I had no idea you can ask two meals on airplane.
Levitation, teleportation or time travel...
how about naming the airline so i can put them on my personal no-fly list?
Because of my job, I’ve travelled international hundreds of times. There is no way, under normal circumstances, a person gets on a plane unless he either sneaks in somehow or someone lets him through. Too many security points where your passport and boarding pass are checked. The other thing is that airlines make a big effort to avoid these situations because they are fined big $$$ by the country where they are landing if they bring in a passenger without required documents and visa.
Time traveler
I flew in and out of Stockholm about 12 years ago... I was shocked how little security there was there compared to the US... I thought it was nice they didn't treat their people as criminals there, but I had a feeling it wouldn't last forever.
I’m sure the government would love to pay him a visit ….
What? Unbelievable….. I’m 76 and have to go through TSA, get frisked, etc… because I had buttons on my top. Wow 😯
Here's the fact you keep feeding us with absolutely no proof: "He got on the plane with no passport or ticket". Why? Just because he got OFF the plane with no passport or ticket? If he has no passport then prove the name you say wasn't on the registry... is really his name!
His a spy
It’s almost like that crew wasn’t up to standard. They would’ve turned it around the moment he acted weird and started switching seats if it was New York to Houston.
One guy flys into the US with no id, ticket or passport and you wonder how it happened. Our southern borders are open with thousands of military age men coming into the US with just about the same credentials and not one local channel talks about THAT. This story is stupid.
How dis the SAS crew permit him to board the plane in Copenhagen?
In Soviet Russia, Countries travel You. 😂 🇷🇺
Name the airline……
Sounds like Mr. Bean😂
Something is rotten in Denmark 🇩🇰
Just sneak through the Mexico border like all the thousands of others
I forgot they don't need anything to board planes in Denmark and summarizing the complaint, he didn't remember anything. he made it to the u.s.,, prison system. Crazy Ivan!
Russian vodka do wonders.
