According to the New York Times, several U.S. reporters were not allowed on the plane because they did not have the visa requirements to enter Cuba.

According to the Guardian, the journalists' prolonged detour was exacerbated by another notable absence: Aeroflot no longer serves alcohol on Havana-bound flights.
It's unclear how many reporters got on the plane but a BBC reporter estimated about two dozen journalists were trying to board the flight.

Reporters chasing Snowden stranded on Cuba-bound plane

The wild goose chase of Edward Snowden left several journalists stranded at 30,000 feet after they boarded a plane from Moscow bound for Cuba - only to discover an empty seat booked in the NSA leaker's name.

An Aeroflot representative told The Associated Press that Snowden wasn't on flight SU150 to Havana, which was filled with journalists trying to track him down.
