Marilyn Hartman, meet your kindred spirit. After being busted for stowing away on a Delta Air Lines flight to Paris, Svetlana Dali is in trouble again, this time for trying to cross into Canada on a Greyhound bus.
Delta Air Lines Stowaway Busted For Greyhound Escape
Dali is a Russian national and US permanent resident. On November 26, 2024, Dali snuck board Delta flight 264 from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG). She hid in the lavatories onboard, switching from time to time to different ones. Flight attendants figured something was up, but did not make any announcement until the aircraft landed in Paris.
The captain then made the following announcement:
“Folks, this is the captain, we are just waiting for the police to come on board. They may be here now and they directed us to keep everyone on the airplane until we sort out the extra passenger that’s on the plane.”
Police boarded the aircraft and removed the woman. French officials denied her entrance to France and sent her back to the USA.
As it turned out, she created a disturbance on her November 30, 2024 Delta flight back and had to be removed (before the flight took off). She finally returned to the USA on December 4, 2024, flanked by two security officials onboard.
A criminal complaint against her alleged that “she did not have a plane ticket and that she intentionally evaded TSA security officials and Delta employees so that she could travel without buying one.” Security video footage captured from JFK proves this…
This was not her first offense: she was caught trying to reach the secure side of Miami International Airport without a ticket in February 2024.
During her appearance in a Brooklyn court, Judge Joseph Marutollo ruled Dali:
- cannot visit airports
- must submit to GPS monitoring via ankle bracelet
- must surrender her passport and other travel documents
- cannot leave the local area (Philadelphia) where she resides
- must abide by a curfew
But Dali is at it again!
She managed to remove her ankle bracelet and tried to take a Greyhound bus to Canada from Philadelphia, but was apprehended at some point along the way in upstate New York. It was her roommate who reported her missing and found the ankle bracelet on the floor of Dali’s bedroom. She is now in FBI custody and is expected to be remanded to prison.
CONCLUSION
After being caught sneaking onto a Delta flight, Dali tried to flee the USA via Greyhound bus. Again, she has been apprehended.
Dali is clearly mentally disturbed…I’m not joking when I say a padded room may be best for her, at least for now, as officials figure out how to handle her Hartman-like antics…

People suck at fleeing. I just know if I needed to get to the Canadian border, I could do it without being detected, and I definitely wouldn’t get busted at a McDonalds. Or on a Greyhound! Don’t identify yourself; at no point do you have to.
Ideally, wear a mask, get in a car, and drive. Or take Amtrak, you can book a ticket under any name. There’s no ID check. It’s not hard, people!
The surveillance state is rather extensive in the US and there are a lot of data surrender monkeys willing to give law enforcement whatever is asked by law enforcement. While there are ways to go around largely undetected to get out of the country, it requires a lot of planning work and not making any mistakes. It also involves avoiding commercial and public transport, staying outdoors and doing a lot of other things.
I think this woman just wants attention and makes drama for some reason that should be of concern to people who have personal ties with her.
Send her for a week into a jail in El Salvador or Honduras. If she survives, she will never want to flee the US again.
Actually, deportation back to Russia may be in US interests.
Why Russia be stupid enough to take her back ? She’s doing a great Joh of promoting the ‘effectiveness’ of the United States’ legal system…. Maybe El Salvador, Honduras or Nauru would be better alternatives ?
“Dali is a Russian national”
You really didn’t have to explicitly say so. It’s pretty obvious.
Russia is an terrorist nation of liars, cheats, thieves, thugs and mafia scumbags. All of them. You know, MAGA types. The source of most of the world’s troubles.
The earth will be a much better place when Russia’s cities are all reduced to smoking craters. Can’t wait for that day to come.
I am very critical of Russia and the still too massive Russian support for Putin, but that doesn’t mean I can buy the anti-Russian bigotry as I know plenty of Russians who aren’t like you said and shouldn’t be painted with that wide brush of bigotry.
I feel bad for her. I knew a girl like that and the story is pretty sad.
I too suspect there is quite a pitiful story behind her bizarre behavior.
Even if lacking understanding for what’s behind her doing this stuff, a lot of people can be selectively quite harsh when it comes to rule breakers. And it’s not like she’s killed anyone to our knowledge.
Even more surprising is she has a roommate. The pool of potential roommates in Philly must be sparse as no way would I imagine sharing an apartment with her, lol.
Perhaps a housing arrangement made as part of her release while awaiting trial with an ankle monitor or one she had before her trip to France.
I don’t get it. Why does she so desperately want to get out of the USA of which she is a permanent resident. If its so bad she could always go back to Russia.
The hag should be stoned.
Oh please. Removed from two flights, bypassing security, starting a fuss and cutting off the bracelet? Enough already. Flush.
