Was Using United Miles
It is my understanding that this passenger was using United Airlines reward miles racked up from a United credit card deal.

Why cockroach, singular? How do you know that there was only one cockroach on the flight?

this cockroach was a premium passenger; the other cockroaches flying cattle did not get any media attention...

TG reports that it has been removed to detention, as it was unable to produce a valid passport.
