Give me a break. Does anyone believe one word of this farcical story from the Daily Mail?

Brilliant stuff. Seems the article said it was an A380 originally before getting changed as well

Was in the Telegraph as well, sounds like a load of crap. It must be one hell of a plane that it missed if it had to climb 10,000ft.

Stories like that really make me laugh

Reading between the lines - anyone reckon it was a go around?

There's no mention of the time delay between the child in the cockpit and the climb.. it could be tens of minutes.

Also serves as a nice bit of free advertising for the passenger who is pictured in the article, who just happens to be the boss of a travel website.
