Girl, two, sneaks on to plane

A two-year-old girl managed to sneak onto a plane to Egypt after running off from her parents at a German airport.

The parents of two-year-old Ana Miele raised the alarm as soon as they noticed she was missing as they were about to board their flight to Tunisia at Nuernberger airport.

Air traffic control put out an alert to pilots after a search of the airport failed to locate the child, and a stewardess on the Egypt bound flight reported a short while later that the two year old had taken a seat on her plane.

"She took a seat as good as gold and strapped herself in. No one had any idea that she was alone," the stewardess said.

The plane that was about to take off had to abort its start and the girl was returned to her parents.
