Southwest Airlines alleged stowaway caught after 40 minute probe
A woman wearing a Beyonce shirt attempted to sneak onto a Southwest Airlines flight 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 the stowaway — after a 40-minute search.
“No. No way,” Moody said in the video as he watched the woman get up to leave the flight. “She sat her a– there the entire time.
“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 truth about the stowaway came to light after the flight crew spent 40 minutes checking everyone’s IDs. But passengers were shocked that 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 did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
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.
