April 19, 20206 yr We had a kitten once smuggled onboard a Gmmx to Egkk flight at easyjet once. Ironically it was a 80 something year old pensioner who saw the stray cat at the airport as she got out the taxi and stuffed it up her jumper. Half way through the flight it got out and started running around the aircraft. We had an acars asking us should they divert to lfpg or carry on to Egkk. We told them Egkk due lfpg curfew and once it arrived it was met by the police and port health, best bit was the cops had to arrest 6 people including the old lady as they started kicking off about the kitten being taken away (to be put down)

Thanks for the laugh........Doug I could give you 10 examples like the one above In my 20 years in the game. I remember once when I was cabin crew, on a Nairobi we had shoe Box of baby terrapins was smuggled on board once by some nasty illegal trader, as the a/C was taxiing out we where doing the demo and as I was pointing out the exits I saw one them, this tiny little thing scurry across the carpet, we had been out partying the night before and truthfully a few of us where quite hungover, including myself, so I didn't know it was was imagined it. A minute later I saw it again scurry back the other way, oh god I thought, so I quickly got the purser to stop the demo, called the skipper and told him to stop at the holding point. Long story cut short, we went onto stand, cops came onboard and we arrested a guy with a shoe box full of the little things. Edited April 19, 20206 yr by fluffyflops
