Boy, 3, tries to board plane alone

An adventurous Polish toddler was found trying to check in for a flight after making a 15-mile journey to an airport on his own.

Three-year-old Mikolaj Sobolewski unlocked the front door of his parents' home and got onto a bus from a stop outside their house to take him to Okecie airport in Warsaw.

He was only grounded when police spotted him in the departure lounge.

A police spokesman said: "He told us that his mother worked near the airport and that he had always wanted to fly in one of the planes he had seen from her office.

"His parents were very relieved to see him but there is no suggestion of negligence on their part."
