Tel Aviv airport workers are not surprised by unusual situations, but they were shocked by the behavior of this Belgian couple. The couple planned to fly to Brussels on the Irish low-cost airline Ryanair, but they did not have a ticket for a child. They refused to buy a separate ticket for the baby and, leaving the stroller with the baby at the check-in desk, went to passport control.
Airport officials said they had never seen anything like it before.
The couple failed to board the plane - they were promptly detained and handed over to the police. The unfortunate parents said that they were not going to fly away without their baby, but wanted to resolve the issue with his flight through the airline's management. True, the couple did not tell why this had to be done at the passport control counter, and even together and without a child.
