Cairo Airport Story

I was at Cairo airport once waiting for a friend who was coming in from Geneva on Swiss Air. I looked for a board with flight information, there weren’t any, and I looked for the airline desk—blank—no desk.

I saw a bloke in a nice uniform and so I asked him if he knew if the Swiss Air flight had landed. He shook his head, then he said “Come with me”.

We went down a few corridors, making turns left and right and then we went out through a door into the open air. We were on the tarmac!

He looked left and then right and then left again and said “It’s not here,” and he then took me back inside the terminal. Strange, eh? (sw) “This story is true hand on heart.” (sw)
