“Flying off to Sleep”

A woman who fell asleep aboard a United Express flight to Philadelphia was left alone on the plane for more than three hours after landing. The woman could have woken up, but wanted to get her money’s worth for her pillow and blanket rental.

The item became newsworthy because the woman who fell asleep mid-flight was a passenger for a change, not a pilot.

The flight crew could have carried the sleeping woman off the plane, but then she would have been considered luggage and subject to an additional fee.

The woman had not made her intention to sleep known, because last time she was in an airport, she had been held for hours by Homeland Security for saying, “I gotta crash.”
