NEW YORK -- A Russian woman who stowed away on a Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Paris last week is on her way back to the United States. French authorities have identified the woman as Svetlana Dali.

New details on how a woman managed to sneak onto a Delta flight from New York to Paris have raised serious questions about security during the busy holiday travel season.

Delta Air Lines will now fly the Russian woman who stowed away on a flight to Paris last week back to New York on Wednesday, a Paris airport official told CNN.
