The woman who was able to sneak onto a New York-to-Paris flight without a boarding pass last year was able to get on the plane by joining a group of ticketed passengers as they passed gate agents, new video shows.
The video shows Svetlana Dali slipping by two gate agents who were checking boarding passes and strolling onto an airbridge along with a group of other passengers.
Delta crew members realized Dali was an unauthorized passenger while the plane was in the air and notified French authorities, who detained her before she entered customs, according to documents.
Dali has pleaded not guilty to a stowaway charge.. Her trial is set to begin next month. Her attorney did not return a voicemail seeking comment on Wednesday.
