This Man Flew from London to New York Without a Ticket and Passport, How is it Possible?

Dream - When traveling abroad, someone needs to bring a number of documents, such as a passport and airplane ticket. However, this was not done by a man named Craig Sturt when traveling from London, England, to New York, United States. The 46-year-old man traveled using a British Airways flight from Heathrow Airport and successfully arrived in New York without a passport or boarding pass.

Accused of boarding the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner "without paying the ticket", Sturt is suspected of evading inspection by walking closely behind other passengers or "tailgating" them. He found a seat on the fully booked plane after several passengers missed their connecting flights.

"He admitted his offense in the Uxbridge Magistrates' Court and was sentenced last month. However, British officials felt even more embarrassed after he failed to appear in court."

"Not Present in Court"

According to the report, the Metropolitan Police have taken Sturt to a hospital in Reading for treatment, and he escaped. The local police then issued an arrest warrant for Sturt after he was reported missing on January 25th.

"The 46-year-old man is 6 feet tall, slim, with short dark brown hair. The last time he was seen, he was wearing a gray jacket, a top, black jogging pants, and white sports shoes," said the police. "On December 24, 2023, the police were informed about a suspected security breach at Heathrow Airport, and a man was subsequently arrested and charged with fraud and violations of the Aviation Security Act," he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Heathrow Airport authorities said Sturt would pass the security check, but it is still unclear how he could avoid document checks before and after.

"We continue to work with all our partners to review and enhance the strong security measures that are constantly reviewed by a wider security partnership."
