Shocking moment woman crawls under airport security barrier before sneaking onto plane unnoticed

When we think of airports, images of armed guards, endless security scanners and grumpy staff members shouting at you over liquids bags are usually what comes to mind - not a place to try pushing your luck.

But a bizarre video captured at an airport in Serbia showed one chancer seeing exactly what she could get away with.

Check out the hilarious clip below:

Captured on security cameras at Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, an unidentified woman can be seen rattling the barriers at electronic passport gates before deciding the best course of action is to drop to the floor and audition for a sequel to The Great Escape.

Once the woman successfully clears the initial obstacle of the passport gates she then decides it would be too suspicious to stand up and continues army crawling her way under further barriers instead of simply walking around them.

Either that, or she's having too much fun transforming herself into a human-sized duster.

Fortunately for the woman, this entire area appears to be completely devoid of people, allowing the woman to successfully pull off her mission.

For anyone watching the clip and worrying that their next jaunt abroad could be delayed by a rogue passenger sneaking onto their flight and getting a free ticket out of the country do not worry - as our chancer was later caught out.

According to reports, the woman was able to board a Wizz Air flight to Malta before being caught out by staff who asked her to present a boarding pass. Security was then called to the situation and the woman was detained.

It is then understood that the woman was charged with trespassing by Serbian authorities. It was also revealed the woman had arrived at the airport on a previous flight from France where she had been deported from for reasons that have not been confirmed to the public.

It's also unknown what the woman's motivations for sneaking onto the flight were and whether or not she had any plans to cause harm with her stunt.

Responding to the incident, airport representatives said: "Belgrade Airport is cooperating with the relevant authorities regarding this case, and while the investigation is ongoing, we are unable to provide any details."

A WizzAir spokesperson told The Sun: "Wizz Air is aware of an incident involving a woman who attempted to board a flight at Belgrade Nikola Tesla airport without presenting to the airport security the required travel documents or a boarding pass.

"Wizz Air did not let the woman fly and alerted the relevant authorities.

"As the investigation is ongoing, we are unable to provide further details at this time.

"We remain committed to ensuring that appropriate measures are taken at the airport to prevent such incidents in the future."
