Beyonce fan posing as stowaway caught sneaking onto Southwest Airlines flight headed to New Orleans concert: ‘You’re embarrassing Beyonce’
A woman wearing a Beyonce shirt appeared to sneak onto a Southwest Airlines flight headed to New Orleans where the “Single Ladies” singer was set to perform.
Corey Moody, a passenger aboard the Tuesday flight, filmed the moment the woman in a Beyonce Renaissance tour T-shirt sitting across from him was outed as a possible stowaway — after a 40-minute search.
“No. No way,”
“She was sitting in that corner real quiet. Like, mam, how did you even think… you’re embarrassing Beyonce,” the shocked passenger added.
Moody said the mystery of the stowaway came to light after the flight crew spent 40 minutes checking everyone’s IDs. But passengers were confused as to how the woman was able to make it all the way into the airplane just moments before take off.
Given the woman’s T-shirt, Moody and his TikTok followers speculated that the woman had tickets for another plane and used it to sneak aboard the early flight to New Orleans in hopes of catching Beyonce’s tour stop in the Big Easy.
Southwest Airlines told The Post that the incident was a result of a minor confusion that was quickly rectified.
“The Customer who deplaned held a boarding pass for that flight, but it did not scan properly. Thus, their seat was given to a standby Customer whose pass was scanned properly,” a rep for the airline said. “The Customer who deplaned went on the next flight to New Orleans.”
Bold stowaways are not uncommon on US airways, with a serial stowaway arrested in May after sneaking into a plane’s wheels to catch a free flight from Houston to Miami.
Officials said Jehffrey Gutirres, 26, tried the dangerous stunt in an attempt to escape prosecution, as he faced trespassing charges in Texas for a January 12 incident at the Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Officials said the stunt Gutirres tried to pull off had previously proven successful after he hid in the landing gear of an American Airlines flight from Guatemala to Miami in November 2021.
