Luke tweeted from Paris saying: ‘Only woke up in the toilets of Charles de Gaulle airport an hour ago and half of Oldham know haha.’
He informed his friends how he managed to wind up in Paris, saying: ‘I got in a taxi to Manchester airport and booked a flight on my phone! Don’t remember the flight. It’s f***ing expensive here though. Mum thinks I’m a pillock. Walked past the Eiffel Tower 3 times! Not a clue where I am!’
Luke had been out clubbing and using his passport as ID when he decided to take a taxi to the airport instead of heading home to bed. He booked flights to Paris on his phone and woke up at Charles de Gaulle airport with little recollection of how he had got there.
Safe back home in England, though, Luke revealed more details about his adventure: ‘I went to drop my friend off at his house in a taxi but for some reason I randomly decided that I don’t want to go home but stay out instead.'
'I found my passport which I’d been using for ID and was looking at this flight app on my phone and it was saying something like “cheap flights to Paris”.’
'The taxi driver asked me about where I was going and what I was going to do in Paris but I couldn’t bring myself to tell him I was a drunken idiot who spontaneously booked a trip to Paris, so I sold him some story that I was a junior doctor going to a convention.’
The adventurer didn't even have a change of clothes with him!
Luke had to break the news to his worried parents back at home. He said ‘I rang my mum and said "don’t panic mum but can you pick me up at Manchester Airport at 8pm?" Then I told her what I had done and she went mental at me.’
The news of the teenager’s drunken escapades spread like wildfire on social networks with the entire trip setting Luke back £300.
'It was great but it was bloody freezing, it’s warmer back here. It cost an arm and a leg but I don’t regret it. It’s a funny story to tell my mates for years to come.’
