Grandchild in basket, oldies try boarding plane

Immigration officials at the Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, stopped an old couple trying to sneak their 1-year-old grandson into the plane in a bamboo basket.

The old couple, who were on their way to Chengdu, Sichuan province, said they were unaware that a 1-year-old's ticket is only 10 percent of the original ticket price.
