I have a funny story to tell you about my trip with Thai Air the last time I came back.
I was very early in the Airport in Copenhagen because the train arrived 4 hours before the plane was to take off.
I had too much baggage I know that I had way too much and there was 3 staff in the check in and I wished I could get the less strict one and I did. She let me take 10 kilo more but I had to leave the small baggage in the cargo and I though that was ok then. But after I went trough the check point I remembered that I put my gold rings in that bag and was not going to get any insurance from them if they were lost.
I start asking the security people what to do and they told me to go to transfer and I went before the line desperate to get the bags out. I spoke English because I am not 100 % in Danish but I understand it. She said I should go down and wait for the bags in claims number 7 in the arrival hall. She also said in Danish to the staff to check me up, she did not think I understood her but I did, bitch!
I had imagined 10 security staff with police dogs and a cavity search when I came down but there was nobody there. I had to ask the transfer staff in the arrival hall and they were very friendly (thank you very much). Once I got my bag and picked out my stuff he even drove it out to the plane really great guys.
I had now only 30 min to take off and I rushed trough tax free to get some perfume and Swedish Chocolate, it is the best one in the world I tell you.
I presented my ticket to the Thai Air staff and then I saw the two security officers waiting for me, ohh bugger. They showed me an x-ray of my bag and said they wanted to take out some stuff. I did not know you could not take compressed air in the cargo I thought it was just in the hand baggage. I had some hum hehe sex toys in the bag and they could see them as well on the x-ray. But they did not care they just wanted the compressed air and I let them take it.
I think they looked 10 times for the last one but we could not find it and the plane was next to us with roaring motors. Finally the Thai Air staff came down and asked the security if I could go or not and they said ok go go it is ok.
Off course everybody looked at me when I came inside the plane because they could see me from the window the security staff checked me just next to the plane and I was the one holding the plane up.
Once in Bangkok I thought they where going to check me as well that they had put some tags or something on the bags. Yep the bags were not there when I come out and only mine. I asked a guy in uniform where my bags were. He talked to some one in the cargo area and they pop up like a life raft in water from the cargo hold. Shit I though, they have checked them already and no they going to stop me and see my toys hahaha, So bloody embarrassing.
I took of all the tags, numbers and anything else that was on the bag and then processed trough green nothing to declare in the customs. They did not say anything but then I saw that they x rayed all the bags. But the luck was on my side and the x-ray machine staff was busy arguing with 20 Indians about some spicy stuff. I quickly went around the corner and then I could hear someone say “hello mister hello” I though shit I have to go back. But then my driver saw me and came and took my bags and the custom guy said “ok go”
