Well, I have one...haha.. It was the first time I had gone on a business trip by plane. Unexpectedly, however, I had lost my Identity Card before boarding at the airport. But fortunately, I ended up boarding. You might be curious how I could make it. Sure, let me share. That was a special evening. I was excited like other rookies in the position, because it was my first business trip. I was delighted to go to the airport by Taxi with my laptop and simple baggage. On the way to the airport, I had been reminding myself to keep my Identity Card safe. Otherwise, I would get in big trouble..... Well you may figure out what was going on. After leaving the Taxi, my mind had gone blank when I found out my Identity Card had been lost. I couldn't believe it! I was almost out of control! But after several minutes, I came to my senses. I thought it was possible that it was lost when I was paying my Taxi fee. Then savvy me phoned the Taxi Company Headquarter immediately. The Telephone operator was very gentle and kind. She helped me to track the Taxi driver who took me to the airport. Thankfully, he hadn't left there. I searched every corner of his car, but I found nothing! I got upset again! But I really didn't want to give up, for that was my first business trip and I didn't want to screw up. I thought to myself I couldn't let my boss down. So I asked at the airport information desk if there was some way that I could board without my Identity Card. They told me that I could check in if I could fax a file which could prove my real identity and it was issued by the Public Security Bureau. Excited and exhausted, I rushed to the center of the airport management as fast as lightning. Well, I got more 'exciting' news that the fax machine didn't work... -_-||| At that moment, security check would be stopped in only 10 minutes. Have you seen a more unfortunate case than this one? I was totally hopeless and I thought I definitely wouldn't have boarded the plane. However, I have no idea whether I looked so poor in such an extent that the airport manager might have sympathized with me or if it just happened that he was in a good mood on that day. Anyway, he gave me a green light after checking up my related work documents. Yeah!!! Once again, I ran towards the boarding gate as fast as lightning with my temporary permit. Thank God! Finally, I was able to check in at the last minute..haha... What about yours? Let's share!

I have heard of a funniest experience. A friend took a plane from Paris to Rio de Janeiro with the passport of his girlfriend. Nobody noticed it in France. There was a stop in Portugal where he was arrested by the police of the airport. He waited 24 hours in the international zone of the airport until a pilot of the same company brought his own passport to Portugal.

@Zoraya He went to the airport with his girlfriend.She had their two passports in her bag and made the mistake, giving him her passport. He did not realized it. And it seems that the French police and customs did not looked very well to the passport.
