Kristen Bell and her family ‘kicked out’ of airport after trying to sleep at gate after nine-hour delay
Kristen Bell and her family transformed the airport into a Good Place after being stranded there for nine hours, but it all came to an end when they were 'kicked out'.
The Frozen star, 43, and her husband Dax Shepard, 48, were stuck at Boston Logan International Airport with their two daughters, Lincoln, 10, and Delta, eight, due to flight delays.
The family managed to make the best out of a sticky situation passing the time by placing Uno and Spades on the floor outside their gate. They even planned to camp out at the airport, before being told to leave.

“Stranded at Boston Airport... 9 hours of delays," The Good Place star wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a picture of the group at the airport.
When the family realised that they’d most likely have to spend the night in Boston as the delays stretched on, they started looking for somewhere to stay but had no luck.
“There were no hotels avail within 50 miles,” Kristen explained.
The family did their best to make the best out of their travel nightmare, by setting up camp in the terminal by creating makeshift beds across the seating area.
“We made quite a home for ourselves here,” Kristen captioned an Instagram Story selfie showing her makeup-free and with a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth.
But the camping experience was short-lived as they were all told to leave. “We wanted to stay but we were kicked out,” the Veronica Mars star said in a clip showing the group’s blankets, airplane neck pillows and snacks strewn across the area.
Dax also documented the ordeal on his own social media feed. He revealed in an Instagram video that the couple spent $600 (£466) on the DIY beds and sleeping supplies for their makeshift camp.
"After 7 hours of delays, the flight was kicked to the next day all together. ZERO vacancies in the greater Boston area," he said in the in-video caption.
The family’s fortunes changed when a friend of a friend who lived closely eventually offered to house the group in their attic.
They all made it to the beds at around 1 a.m. and Kristen thanked their hosts, John and Krista, for taking them in.
“Thankfully we found friends of friends who offered us their attics and accepted us at 1 am!!!!!!” the Gossip Girl narrator captioned a picture of the beds in the attic she posted on Instagram.
What a wholesome ending!
