Imagine Being Paid $250,000 by Spielberg While Stuck in an Airport for 18 Years

Taking Off

“Sir Alfred” left Belgium, arrived in Paris de Gaulle airport. He then somehow, as if it was a miracle, boarded a plane and landed in London. It should be noted that this shouldn’t have happened because, as most of us know, in order to fly internationally, we require a few things.

To begin with you need a valid passport and visa and obviously, “Sir Alfred” did not. It was obviously a big airline mistake. These days airlines will get a fine of almost $3500 for each passenger they fly without a valid passport or visa and have to fly the passenger back to their origin free of charge.
