Stephanie OҀ™Donnell

β€˜I stood up on a plane to save an asylum seeker from deportation. Here's what happened.’

My name is Stephanie O’Donnell, but I also go by β€œthe girl from the plane”. On December 19, my partner and I were at Sydney Airport on our way to Heathrow via Beijing. We had booked the cheapest flight available and were waiting to check in for flight CA174, when a plucky activist approached us.
