Stowaway boards Hawaii-bound plane in Seattle: Shocking incident.

During holiday travel, someone tried to sneak onto a Delta Air Lines flight from Seattle to Honolulu without a ticket. The stowaway was found before the plane took off and was taken off the flight by the police. All passengers had to leave the plane for safety checks. The flight was delayed for about 2 hours.

It was reported that the stowaway passed through security the day before the flight without a boarding pass. The person also got onto the plane’s bridge without a ticket being scanned. Police caught the stowaway in a restroom with the help of video cameras and arrested them for trespassing.

The TSA confirmed that the stowaway went through security screening and didn’t have anything dangerous. They are investigating the incident further.

This happened after another person, Svetlana Dali, sneaked onto a Delta flight last month. She was caught when the plane landed in Paris. The incidents show the importance of airport security.
