Marilyn Hartman (born 1951 or 1952), known as the "Serial Stowaway", is an American woman known for stowing away on more than 20 commercial airline flights since 2014.[2]

Hartman is homeless and believes a worldwide conspiracy, operating with the permission of Barack Obama, has spent decades harassing her, and that it triggers a "fight or flight" response that compels her to "get on a plane to go away."[1]

Incidents

On August 4, 2014, Hartman boarded a flight from Mineta San Jose International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport without a ticket. Flight attendants detected her upon landing in Los Angeles, and Hartman was arrested and charged with trespassing.[3]
On February 9, 2015, Hartman flew from Minnesota to Jacksonville, FL without a ticket. She was arrested after checking into a hotel under another person's name when that person arrived at the hotel. She was charged with fraud by impersonation and other crimes.[4]
On January 14, 2018, Hartman snuck onto a plane from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to London Heathrow International Airport, after failing the previous day to board a flight to Connecticut. Not having a passport, she was sent back to the United States by British immigration officials, where she was arrested and charged with theft.[5] She was sentenced to 18 months probation and mental health counseling, and is restricted from being on any airport property without holding an existing airline ticket.[6]
On October 11, 2019, Hartman was arrested while trying to pass through security without a boarding pass or identification, again at O'Hare.[7]
