It didn’t work. When the passenger with the real ticket tried to board her boarding pass was flagged as already used. ---

I thought the article said they had already left the gate and were taxiing on their merry way. ---

Indeed. > When he exited the bathroom, a flight attendant noticed there were no available seats and approached Fleurizard to assist him, according to the complaint, **which noted the plane had already pushed back from the gate and begun taxiing down the runway**. And this doesn’t seem to be true: > [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > When the passenger with the real ticket tried to board her boarding pass was flagged as already used. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been the case that “there were no available seats” as per the article. I’ll note that it could be worse, as in this incident: > Last month, a woman ducked security and [took](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/16/us/tsa-security-breach-nashville.html) an American Airlines flight from Nashville to Los Angeles without a ticket. She was detained by the FBI for questioning but no charges were filed. Interesting that she actually made the entire flight and hasn’t even been charged. ---
