Svetlana Dali, 57, exploited weaknesses in the security system at Kennedy International Airport by blending in with boarding travelers and passing through checkpoints with flight crews.
While on the flight to Paris, Ms. Dali attempted to remain undetected by ducking into the aircraft's bathrooms during the seven-hour journey.
She faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and the incident raises serious concerns about airport security protocols.
Prosecutors are focused on ensuring she has a stable residence and are concerned about a potential risk of flight rather than the severity of her offense.
