Passengers aboard Allegiant Airlines flight 161 from Las Vegas to Stockton, California had a journey from hell when their one-hour flight turned into a 17-hour journey.
After taking off from Las Vegas on Monday night, passengers were expecting to land in Stockton, California at 9:30 pm.
But when the plane arrived in Stockton the pilot couldn't get ahold of anybody on the ground in order to get a weather report.
Jade Watts, a passenger on the flight explained to CBS Sacramento: 'It was absolutely horrible.'
'The pilot comes on and says the control tower is closed and they can't land without a weather report.'
The control tower at the Stockton Airport is typically manned from 7 am to 9 pm running on an automated system when the tower is unstaffed.
