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.

More aeroplane than airport, but still noteworthy.When I was about three years old, I was on a flight to a certain very far away place which I'm not going to name, as I've already given away far too many clues to my identity, & this one would really cinch it.
Although I will say that the flight time was about twenty hours.
About four hours into this flight, & I feel the need to take a leak, & amble off towards the karzi. Upon opening the door & lifting up the seat, I'm confronted by that sort of roaring whooshing noise that you get in plane bogs sometimes.
Being three years old, I logically conclude that there must be some sort of monster living in the john, & run back to my seat as fast as my little legs can carry me.
Twenty hours. Without a piss. Wonder I didn't drown in it really.
