Airport code chronicles: That time I left my BAG (Loakan, Philippines)

So I was on my way to the ATM (Altamaria, Brazil) inside the arrivals hall when I realised I'd left my BAG (Loakan, Philippines) back at the carousel.

So I was on my way to the ATM (Altamaria, Brazil) inside the arrivals hall when I realised I’d left my BAG (Loakan, Philippines) back at the carousel.

DOH (Doha, Qatar) I said to myself.

So I went back and picked it up when a police MAN (Manchester, UK) came up to me.

He asked to look in my bag, and then called his DOG (Dongola Airport, Qatar) over. (I’m more of a CAT (Cat Island Airport, Bahamas) person myself.)

“OMG (Omega, Namibia) I don’t have anything” I said to him.

But he was a bit of a DIK (Dickinson Airport, USA) and insisted on looking anyway.

Eventually he let me go, and so I went to get something to EAT (Wenatchee Airport, USA) at the food court.

I was watching my weight at the time, trying not to get FAT (Fresno Yosemite Airport, USA) but I just couldn’t pass up a lamb kebab.

But when I went to PAY (Pamol, Malaysia) I was a bit short a couple of bucks.

Thankfully the girl behind the counter lent me some money. IOU (Ile Ouen, New Caledonia) I told her.

After going for a PEE (Perm Airport, Russia) I hailed a taxi and was then on my way.

WOW (Willow, USA) look at the traffic, I said to the driver.

But then I looked in my pocket. No wallet.

FUK (Fukushima, Japan) me, I said to myself.

BAC (Barranca De Upia, Colombia) to the airport driver!
