On that topic: At Christmas Island a few years back (when the casino was still running) there was only a flight a day from the mainland. Having finished final checks of the fuel system back at the depot (and having checked in via Customs at the terminal earlier in the day) whilst the aircraft was refuelled, I wander across the tarmac and with a friendly wave to the ground staff join the queue to board at the bottom of the air-stairs. To say a few of the other passengers were wondering what the f*** I thought I was doing, is an understatement.. seriously, the look on their faces was priceless!!!
