A man managed to board two flights in two days without a ticket at Munich Airport.
A spokesperson for the Bavarian State Police told Business Insider that the 39-year-old Norwegian, who hasn't been named, is under investigation for trespassing and fare evasion.
On August 4, he boarded a plane to Hamburg, in the north of Germany, with other passengers but was apprehended and handed over to police before it took off, according to the spokesperson.
The following day, the spokesperson added, the man returned to the airport and was able to fly to the Swedish capital, Stockholm, despite not being properly booked onto the flight.
The German newspaper Bild reported that he raised suspicions in Stockholm because he wanted to return to Munich immediately after landing. The report added that it was a Lufthansa flight.
A spokesperson for Munich Airport told BI it's investigating how the man was "able to bypass the automated boarding pass check in front of the security checkpoint."

The night train boom is continuing with a new sleeper across Europe launching in 2025.
The rapidly brightening sky was painted with swaths of orange, pink, and yellow. The early-morning light revealed a city that seemed to be little more than a patchwork of haphazardly planned mid-rise buildings in varying states of repair, punctuated with sprawling bushes, trees quivering in the morning breeze, and lawns sloping toward the nearby sea. The nocturnal beep-beep of tree frogs gave way to the insistent chirp of morning birds that rose from the trees to swoop across the sky like animated chevrons.
