The writer had an exciting flight last week, and it was quite funny too. At the airport, they collected their boarding passes at the check-in desk, and the mother checked their gate number on the departure screen. Then they left their bags at the bag drop. At the security checks, they put their passports in the trays with their hand luggage. While they were eating in the departure lounge, the mother realised she'd left her passport at the security check. She jumped up and ran back in a complete panic. Then the father said they were calling their flight number. He called the mother to tell her to meet them at departure gate 5, after passport control. The mother came back holding her passport in the air and they queued up to board. The flight attendant checking their tickets was confused. She said it wasn’t their flight. She showed the father their tickets, and he realised the flight number was different! They all had to run to another gate and got there just as they were closing it.
