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.

Stewardess SmackdownIn the summer of 2000 I as travelling through Central and South America.
I took a cheap-as-chips internal flight from Peru to Brazil on TACA Merco Sur (South American equivilant of Aeroflot). It was a virtually empty flight and the plane an old turboprop that was way older than me (33). It was really turbulant and scary from the first 5 minutes of the flight, but then from the back of the plane we heard a load screaking. It was only the 4 drunk stewardesses haveing a scap! Apparently one had called another a rude word and a full on hair pulling and nail scratching ensued! It lasted about 5 minutes until the co-pilot piled down the back to calm things down.
I took cheaper-than-chips chicken buses for the rest of my journey - it scared (but also amused) the bejesus out of me!
On my flight home home I joined the mile high club (it's over-rated, cramped and smelly).
