Manchester boy, 11, runs away and sneaks on flight to Rome
Quote:
An 11-year-old boy boarded a plane from Manchester to Rome on his own without a passport, tickets or boarding pass.
The boy got through a security screen by mingling with families going through Terminal 1 on Tuesday afternoon.
He was discovered while the Jet2 plane was in mid-air after passengers became suspicious.
A Manchester Airport spokesman said a number of airline staff had been suspended. The transport secretary said it was "incredibly concerning".

While it is a pretty sad state of affairs at the airport, the kid deserves kudos for his efforts! It's like something out of Home Alone 2.
