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.

From Bacelona to NewcastleWent for a 3 day city break with my mum as part of my birthday present just after christmas last year.
Barcelona airport is blooming huge!
Checked in at half 11 in the morning for the 1.30pm flight. We got lost, walking about 2 miles in the wrong direction to our gate but we were there nice and early as my mum has a bad leg and she wanted to get a good seat.
1 hour delay,2,3,4 hours and nothing. No one told us what was happening. Found out just before 7 that the plane had finally taken off and was on the way. Didnt get on the plane till 8.30pm ish.
Aparrently the plane was flying from Dublin to Newcastle to Barcelona. The snow in newcastle caused the people in dublin to be stuck in the plane for 3 hours before getting to NC.
All the food was gone, and most of the drink, and used sickbags were jotted about as they had no time to clean the plane. Nice
