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.

Innocence of a child...One I'd just remembered. I was flying to Germany (again, but for a wedding this time not a booze up... well not initially) with parents when I was about 7.
Two things I remember was that we flew via Lufthansa which I kept - in honest childish innocence and nothing to do with the fact my father gave me some sweets to do so - referring to as Luftwaffe. My mother was disgusted at this, my father pissing himself laughing with everyone giving me the "aww how sweet" looks (apart from the pissed off staff) with me havign a grin on my face no idea what I was saying.
The second was when I was on the flight and heartbroken to find out that when flying over the sea and countries was that the name of the sea and places weren't written down like they were on maps I'd seen in school.
I was a special child.
