Frankfurt - Two drunken Germans, apparently looking for a toilet during a conference at Frankfurt airport, got on a plane by mistake and flew to Moscow. The 20-year-old men were wandering round the airport when they found themselves on the tarmac and boarded a shuttle bus which drove to an aircraft bound for the Russian capital.

"They got in and sat in the back of the aeroplane which then flew to Moscow," said Frankfurt state prosecutor, Mr Job Tilmann. On arrival in Moscow, they noticed it was cold and realised they had no passports, let alone entry visas. Russian police put them on a flight back to Frankfurt where they were met by Federal Border Police who charged them with joyriding.
