Jessica Biel suffered a delay in her travel plans this week after her plane could not land safely because of extreme weather conditions.
“I am currently on a short flight and we now cannot land because of this crazy snowstorm,” the “Sinner” alum, 41, shared in a video posted on TikTok Tuesday.
“It’s making the runway, like, inhospitable to land.”
Biel then raved she was relieved to have packed her “favorite snacks,” including pistachios, granola bars and a tangerine since she had not been able to eat in a while.
She also gave actress Mindy Kaling a shoutout, who previously complimented the “7th Heaven” alum for being forward-thinking and bringing a salad on her flight.
“I remembered this one time, maybe like 14 years ago, when I sat next to @jessicabiel on a flight. An hour in, she pulled out this container from her tote bag,” Kaling, 44, wrote on Instagram in November 2023.
“It had the most delicious looking homemade salad in it that was definitely a better option than whatever I was eating.”
However, this time, Biel did not bring a full meal, so she noted in a second clip on TikTok, “Now I’m really pissed I didn’t bring a lunch.”
The “Candy” star shared her “epic journey” had taken her and her fellow travelers to an “outpost” at the Salt Lake City airport, where they were “not allowed to get off” as the plane’s staff tried to “refuel and actually get back up in the air.”
“So I think the moral of the story is: It literally doesn’t matter if you’re flying for 20 minutes or 20 hours, pack your own damn lunch,” she concluded.
Biel also pointed out at one point during her travel delay that she had a mini-karaoke machine with her and joked, “How much would this plane literally want to kill me if I pulled out this microphone to start karaoke with them?”
One fan chimed in in the comments section, “Ummm if Jessica biel were on my flight wanting to do karaoke, I’m there for it!”
Another added, “i think the plane would probably be excited to karaoke with you! if they aren’t, maybe bribe them with your snacks.
