Man Sneaks onto Two Flights Without Tickets

German authorities are probing a significant security lapse at Munich Airport after a Norwegian man managed to board two flights without a ticket, traveling 800 miles to Sweden. The 39-year-old successfully navigated security on August 4, despite lacking any travel documents. Reports indicate that he gained access to a flight to Hamburg by tailgating other passengers with valid boarding passes. Once onboard, crew members quickly realized he had no seat reservation, leading to his apprehension by police, who later released him after questioning. Remarkably, the man repeated his unauthorized travel the following day, again bypassing security and tailgating passengers boarding a Lufthansa flight to Stockholm. This time, he secured an empty seat and flew to the Swedish capital undetected. His ruse was only uncovered when he requested to return to Munich immediately upon arrival, raising suspicions among the crew. In response to these alarming incidents, both Munich Airport and the Bavarian State Police have launched investigations to determine how the man managed to evade the automated boarding pass checks. A spokesperson for the airport confirmed that they are looking into the security protocols in place at the time of the breaches. The man now faces charges for trespassing and fare evasion. This incident is not isolated; similar cases have occurred elsewhere, including a US woman who flew from Nashville to Los Angeles without a boarding pass and a man who bypassed security at Gatwick Airport in the UK.
