Woman takes ride on airport baggage belt

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Officials with a Stockholm, Sweden, airport said a woman took a ride on a baggage conveyor belt after mishearing instructions from personnel.

Arlanda Airport officials said the 78-year-old woman, who was en route to Germany, misheard instructions from airport workers to take her bags to an unmanned conveyor belt after she checked in and instead climbed aboard the conveyor herself, the Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra reported Wednesday.

The conveyor took her to the baggage handling area, where personnel were able to help her down off the belt and direct her toward the passenger area of the airport.

The woman wasn't injured and was taken to the proper place in time to catch her flight, the airport told TT.
