Lucky Lucky Baby !!!

I work at LHR and yesterday an 18 month old baby crawled up the conveyer belt (at Check in) and went flying into the baggage system!!!! he apparently was retrieved a bit battered but OK,not sure how long he/she was flying down belts and chutes before he was rescued! but one lucky baby.so watch your kids at the airport check in when you go on your Hols!!

Not quite on a par, but at the weekend I finally did something I knew I'd do one day...I was just tipping the water I'd siphoned out of the aquarium into the kitchen sink when I noticed a fish swimming around in the bucket. Can a fish look pissed off....?

i've always wanted to dive in after my luggage to see where it goes. I imagine it goes on some Indiana Jones type roller coast ride through the airport.

believe me its all dusty horrible rubber covered belts or shiny metal chutes,its amazingly complex in its construction, with belts and chutes going in all directions!

Yeah and some miserable git sitting at an X ray screen pushing a button to divert MY case because he sees something dodgy inside, this depriving me of my clothes, razor and toothbrush for 24 hours....

Best baggage handling system I've ever seen was at Nadi Airport, Fiji. At domestic check in our cases were weighed on a battered set of scales then placed in front of a hole in the wall over which was hung one of those '70s style multi-coloured door screens. Promptly a hand appeared from the other side of the hole and in a flash the bags were gone. High tech stuff.

Hell, I'm 31 and would still love to do this. A small child might be able to get away with it more easily though

This is the reason why I never take more than a small carry-on case unless I'm flying long haul or going for longer than a week.
