What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA Los Angeles woman booked a twenty dollar flight to San Francisco, then slept on the airport floor instead of getting a hotel, the New York Post reports.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSanteon Brown posted it on TikTok, and it has seven hundred twenty-five thousand views. She says, quote, I didn't get stuck, I planned it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlanned it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe says the airport felt safer than a strange city after dark, because everyone's been vetted. That's a fully screened guest list, Hank.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the people sleeping next to her all had boarding passes. And a hotel room would have cost more than five times her flight, according to Commstrader.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the floor is the luxury tier. I'd call it a suite with an open-concept layout and a gate number.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty dollars to get there, and she still wanted the cheaper part. The hashtag is: floorplan.
