Airport StoriesBack when I was a moody teenager I took a cheap flight that involved changing planes and having to go through security again. My bags were pre-checked so, when I set off the metal detector, I honestly said to the security guy that I had no idea what had set it off.
Until, that is, he searched me and found the metal knife and fork stamped "KLM" I'd nicked off the previous flight.
Tell us your best airport stories.

I hate airports...Spending about 6 hours waiting to leave the Falklands where I had working as a contractor - the plane iced up on the tarmac and the de-icer lorry was brought out and then promptly broke down on the way over. A second one was brought out and got to the plane then froze itself. In the end the RAF resorted to putting some poor sod on the end of a cherry picker with a broom to try and de-ice the wings. Not suprisingly the pilot told them to f*ck off if they thought he was going to take off. Back to the mess for food and then sitting in the airport for hours surrounded by models of landmines. Thrilling...
SJH - I had the misfortune to fly Peach Air about 8 years ago. The plane was a flea-ridden piece of shite and appeared to be barely air-worthy.
