You want to check-in WHAT ??????????????????????
You never know what people will try to check in before their flight. Take these strange items that members of the Virgin Atlantic Airways check-in staff have encountered:
* A bathtub. A woman passenger who had her family carry the tub through the airport at JFK expected the item to be checked in. It wasn't even wrapped or packaged.
* A pet tarantula hidden in a woman's coat at JFK airport. * A dead cow wrapped in plastic at JFK..
* A bag of cutlery previously stolen from a Virgin Atlantic flight at Delhi airport.
* A bag full of sand, sea and water. You see, a couple fell in love on the island of Grenada and wanted to check in a memory.
* A bag of soil and coconut trees at Grenada airport.
And how does the check-in staff react to such swell stuff? A Virgin Atlantic executive put it this way: "It certainly brightens up their day."
