Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend have finally arrived in Tokyo. The 32-year-old pregnant model took to her Twitter account on Wednesday, December 27 to reveal that she and her singer hubby have landed following their "flight to nowhere."
"We are HERE!" Chrissy tweeted. She followed it up with another post, "We uhhhhh went ahead and cancelled our connecting flight to nagoya and 3 hour car ride for...obvious reasons...but are happy to stay here in Tokyo! We feel like young lovers again. Been a while since the ramen adventures of 2012!"
We are HERE!

Chrissy and John actually boarded a flight on Tuesday, December 26 and expected to land in Tokyo. However, eight hours later, they ended up returning to LAX after the crew believed they're flying with an unauthorized passenger for hours. The couple then boarded another flight to Tokyo on Wednesday.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model hilariously live-tweeted the flight and the hours she spent at LAX waiting to take off for a second time. "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," she wrote.

Chrissy went on to sarcastically talk about the wrong passenger, saying, "This person is so lucky that we will all have to deplane. Imagine having to walk off alone. The shame!" She continued, "I don't know why I'm not more upset about this. The pleasure I get out of the story is worth more to me than a direct flight to Tokyo."

I don’t know why I’m not more upset about this. The pleasure I get out of the story is worth more to me than a direct flight to Tokyo

The model also wondered, "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."

After passengers were questioned by the police, Chrissy revealed she was "moved to a room with Bravo" in the airport. "I have been moved to a room with Bravo," she wrote alongside a picture of a TV playing "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills". "Clearly the authorities are trying to keep me quiet so I don't BLOW THE LID OFF THIS 'SITCH.' "

Apparently not impressed with the apology, Chrissy responded to the airline's tweet, "Honestly everyone on the ground and in the air were very kind and apologetic. But I just need to know why we couldn't have flown to tokyo and settled this one person's mistake (who was going to tokyo all along) there, in tokyo. 230 people on this flight."
