British man arrested for traveling to New York without passport or ticket. Craig Sturt is accused of failing to appear at a hearing at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on January 22.
Sturt was also allegedly allowed to pass airside before boarding a bus to join a British Airways plane, where he mingled with a crowd of other passengers eager to arrive in New York in time for Christmas. None of the cabin crew realized that Sturt should not have been on the plane. It wasn't until he arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport that Customs and Border Protection agents realized he was a stowaway.
