Two Pissed Geordies 'Pretended To Be Suitcases' In Airport. Chaos Ensues

Two Pissed Geordies 'Pretended To Be Suitcases' In Airport. Chaos Ensues

Spoiler: they got in quite a bit of trouble

When you've had a couple of drinks, the weirdest things sound like absolutely brilliant ideas. For example, my friend once stopped mid-night out to go buy chips, cheese and gravy before getting back on the sesh. I was horrified. But you know what? It turns out it's the most delicious thing that's ever been invented and I urge you all to try it if you haven't already.

Other great ideas include:

  • Attempting a back flip
  • Attempting the worm
  • Attempting any kind of dance move when you're eight pints down
  • Thinking you're Billy Big Bollocks and ordering extra-hot chilli on your doner kebab
  • Recreating classic Jackass scenes
  • Texting your ex to tell them you love them

If any of these ideas pop into your head while you're drunk - avoid them. Trust me.

Something else we should probably add to that list is 'pretend to be a suitcase at Newcastle Airport in order to get a snack'.

Believe it or not, this actually happened.

Two Geordie blokes popped into the airport last Thursday evening, but instead of going the normal way they crawled under the counter and along the baggage chute, reports the Mirror.

They continued along the normal suitcase journey, following the black rubber conveyor belt behind the check-in desks.

Apparently, the baggage belt would have taken them past the passport hall, beneath security checks and under duty-free.

Somehow, they managed to get as far as departures before being detained by security.

The pair were caught on CCTV. An airport source told the paper: "They basically got all the way through to air-side by pretending to be suitcases. They got down on their hands and knees to get through check-in then followed the conveyor belt.

"That takes cases through from the front check-in area to where baggage handlers collect and load air-side."

They added that the pair's mission still "amounts to a security breach".

An airport spokesman said: "We can confirm two males were seen riding on an empty section of the baggage belts.

"The police and airport security were quickly dispatched while the control room monitored the offenders on CCTV. The two men were intercepted, taken into custody and charged under the Aviation Act.

"We take the safety and security of passengers very seriously and, while this incident appears to have had no malicious intent, behaviour such as this will not be tolerated."

So there you have it, don't piss about at airports. Surely everyone knows that by now? Plus, if you really fancy a snack, might I suggest a McDonald's? Airport food is ridiculously expensive anyway.
