Passenger secretly boards Delta plane bound for Paris from NYC

A stowaway allegedly sneaked onto a Delta Air Lines flight that departed John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City Tuesday and wasn’t noticed until the aircraft was close to touching down in Paris, WABC-TV reported.

The woman boarded Delta Flight 264 just before 11 p.m. Tuesday.

She was caught after a flight attendant deduced she was staying in the plane’s bathrooms for unusually long periods of time.
