My muppet moment wasn't directly at an airport but on the way there. We were having a shift weekend in Moraira in Spain, after a few pleasant days headed off to Murcia for our flight home (early shift next day). Unknown to myself (driving hire car ) it's a different route to get back to Murcia, anyway I become lost and end up in a service station for directions, now seriously behind time and getting very worried about missing flight. We arrive at Murcia about 5 minutes before check in closes(Ryanair), everybody piles out of car and runs into departures whilst I park the car, well I don't really park the car but find a space about 2 inches wider than the car, jump out and push it back in. I then run into car hire area and launch the keys in the general direction of the car hire counter generally pointing in the direction of the car. Whilst I'm doing this the rest of the troops are checking in trying to hide the fact I'm not there, so I arrive and it's straight through security and straight onto the aircraft . From arrival at Murcia to being airborne less than 10 minutes, we did get an early slot. Wasn't looking forward to explaining to gaffers why the whole early shift was still in Spain but made it.😎😎👍👍👍
