Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, and their two kids were kicked out of Boston’s Logan International Airport after their flight was delayed nine hours and they could not find a hotel room within 50 miles.
The family had bought $600 worth of pillows and sheets to create makeshift beds on the floor of the airport, but they were told they had to leave after midnight.
Bell and Shepard documented their ordeal on social media, where they shared photos and videos of themselves sleeping on the floor and playing games to pass the time.
“We made quite a home here,” Bell wrote on Instagram.
Shepard said that they were “kicked out” of the airport because it was closing for the night.
“Thankfully we found friends of friends who offered us their attics and accepted us at 1am!!!!!!” Bell wrote on Instagram.
The couple’s social media posts have been met with a mix of reactions, with some people expressing sympathy for their situation and others finding it humorous.
“I truly don’t mean this to be mean but I didn’t think this stuff happened to rich people,” one person commented on Shepard’s post.
“I love that you guys are just normal f—king people,” another wrote in a reply that got more than 6,000 likes.
One commenter imagined what an unbelievable scene it would be if they were another traveler in the airport.
“I’m just picturing walking through the Boston airport and seeing Dax and KB and family SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR,” she wrote.
The incident has highlighted the challenges that travelers can face, even when they are celebrities. It has also reminded people that even the rich and famous are not immune to the inconveniences of air travel.
