Frankfurt, August 14: A bizarre incident has come to light in Germany. A man from Norway allegedly sneaked past security and boarded a plane at Munich airport. The Norwegian traveller reportedly boarded a plane at Munich airport for two days in a row without a ticket. During the second incident, the man even managed to fly to Sweden after boarding the plane.

According to reports, the 39-year-old Norwegian man managed to sneak past security at Munich airport, Germany's second-busiest airport. The first incident occurred on August 4, when the Norwegian traveller boarded the fully booked plane after sneaking past security and airline staff at the airport's gate.
