Stowaway sneaks onto two flights over two days in Germany

A man has managed to sneak onto two different Lufthansa flights without tickets over two days at Munich Airport. Both times the 39-year-old tail-gated behind unsuspecting passengers at airport security and then at the gate, reported German media outlet Bild. In the first case on August 4 the man, who is originally from Norway, was spotted easily once he had boarded as the flight was full and he clearly didn’t have a seat. He was spoken to by police and was released. The next day he was back and again succeeded in getting on board a Lufthansa flight. But this time he found an empty seat and managed to fly to Stockholm, Sweden. Suspicions were aroused when he asked to fly straight back to Munich. Security was called and he was found with a 10cm blade on him. According to reports, his motive was that he just loves travelling. Andreas Roßkopf, the head of the federal police union, told Bild: "I have never experienced this in my career as a civil servant. The airport must explain how this could have happened.“ An airport spokesperson said an investigation has been launched into how the man bypassed the automatic boarding pass check before the security check, and the pass check at the boarding gate.<br/>
