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.

Captain and cabin crew jokeA friend of mine (First Officer on a charter airline at the time, now promoted captain, God help us) told me that the cabin crew would often issue a challenge to the flight deck to include a particular word into their flight announcements. For example - Knicker - e.g. "Any special requirements today please ask a member of our cabin crew like *Nick - errh and if you are not sure the button to call the cabin crew is immediately above your head.
Or, "We will be leaving when the refuelling is done. Can cabin crew check all exits?" DUNCAN
Heard similar myself on a Ryanair flight - one of the cabin crew (flight to Barcelona) was called Jesus (Hay-zoos in Spanish - yes I know you know!). Well the number of references such as "The temperature at Stansted is 13 degrees and will still be the same when we arrive, GOD WILLING!" was impressive.
Length, girth - it's all the same to me ... SQUARE!
