You might be forgiven if you forgot your luggage, but your children?!


I wonder if they did that on purpose? That or they have a bad case of amnesia.


"Staff at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel have found a four-year-old girl alone in a duty-free shop after her parents accidentally took a plane without her.

The parents boarded the flight to Paris with four of their five children.

The mother and father were sitting in different parts of the aircraft and did not realise their mistake until the captain informed them after take-off.

The girl was put on the next flight to Paris. The parents will be questioned when they return to Israel.

"It is usual that travellers in a rush forget their luggage but not a child. This never happens," AFP news agency quoted a police official as saying."

This reminds me of Home Alone.

Perhaps they wanted to avoid a surcharge on excess baggage.
