In a fun version of “Where’s Waldo?”, many journalists bought seats on the flight to Cuba from Russia on which Edward Snowden was booked. Except they found themselves sitting next to an empty seat, as the gate closed on the 12 hour flight and no Snowden appeared.

Cuba here we come. Taxiing down Sheremetevo runway and no sign of Snowden. Seats empty still by 17A

Can't believe all those hacks are on the flight from Moscow that #Snowden didn't take. Best Rickroll ever?

Whew, close call there. RT @andrewrevell: @SnowdensSeat You're lucky he didn't turn up. He leaks.
