A Michigan woman who fell asleep on a United Express flight to Philadelphia says she woke up and was shocked to find she was alone on the plane. Ginger McGuire, 36, said no one had awakened her when the plane landed more than three hours earlier. She said she paced the aisle for about 15 minutes early Tuesday until the locked door opened and police demanded identification.
“Waking up to an empty airplane and not being able to get out — it was very horrifying,” said McGuire as her lawyer announced a lawsuit.
McGuire’s attorney said his law firm’s lawsuit against the airline alleges negligence, false imprisonment and distress.
United Airlines released a statement saying it was investigating. United spokeswoman Sarah Massier declined comment because the incident has led to a lawsuit.
