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 was on a flight to London......leaving from Dubai. The chap set next to me was from Karachi and all excited about being on a plane for the first time. He was going to Cairo.
I remarked how strange it was to fly Karachi/Dubai/London/Cairo. He said "London? No, I'm going to Cairo." Momentary panic on my part and then it dawns. He's never flown before, no one told him he might need to change planes.
So I calls the steward over and explain, cue rather grumpy police trooping on board and carting the poor bugger off.
