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.

upgrade downfallOn a trip to the USA and Canada a few years ago, I decide I'm going to try to get an exit row seat, for the extra legroom. I enquire politely at check-in and, to my surprise, they give me one, and I enjoyed the extra space on the way to New York.
On the way back I did not ask at check-in, but they must have recorded my preference, and gave me one anyway. The thing was: the return flight was overnight, and exit row seats do not recline at all. Cue a restless night and a sore neck for a week. Bugger!
