One of the funniest flights of my life!
A completely full airplane on the last days of August.
I was on the gate's waiting room, the suddenly a 1,90m Airline Pilot in full uniform come to me and says: "Your Excellency, your Aircraft is waiting...". It was my son Miguel, of course. But the Portuguese are among the most jealous people in the world: They were looking at me with a stare of envy and hatred...
Not only this...
In the middle of the flight, my Son went to the toilet, while I was having a chat with the Chief Steward, according to rules, closing the access to the area. Suddenly, a middle aged woman, full with bracelets, obviously rich, tried to make her way to the toilet. The Stewardess said it was no allowed to pass, because the Pilot was there. She shouted, with a very distinct Porto accent: "THE Pilot???", "Yes, of course Madam, they are human beings too..." She run to her seat, on the 1st row, and blessing herself and shouting "Oh, my God!!!!", she strapped herself very very tight with her seat belt! I couldn't stop laughing....
