They were late for their flight to Santorini and, in order not to miss it, they decided to do their own thing.

The husband and wife, who arrived just as boarding was closed, threw open an airport exit adjacent to the runway and started running towards the plane.

However, their journey ended before they reached the plane. The two were stopped by border police officers and, in addition to obviously missing their flight, were fined €2,064 each.

The incident occurred at Venice's Marco Polo Airport, according to the Border Police: one of the most high-profile cases of unruly passenger behavior this summer.
