A selfish traveler who lied about needing a wheelchair to bypass long airport queues has incited anger. When leaving Milas-Bodrum Airport on June 16, Wolf Jenkins took off his shoe and sock and acted as though he had sprained his ankle. He also put on a limp.
The 28-year-old was then asked by airport workers if he had the fight to fly form, but he said that he could walk if needed because his ankle was merely injured on the way to the airport.
But before he boarded the aircraft, staff members brought him a wheelchair and pushed him around the terminal.
He and his pal were then given private rows so Wolf could extend his leg while they were aboard. Wolf recorded his prank and posted it to TikTok, where it quickly gained popularity and more than a million views.
Wolf said: “I flew from Bodrum to Bristol at midnight. When we arrived at the airport the queue was out of the door and we knew we would have missed our flight.
“I’d say around a two-hour wait to get through security and check-in at least. The queue outside of the airport was insane, I didn’t expect it at all.
“I saw people in wheelchairs being pushed through so my friend waited in the queue and I went outside and took off my shoe and sock.
“I then limped back towards the door and a member of staff asked me if I needed assistance so I said I had twisted my ankle at the hotel just before getting into my taxi.
“I was then ushered through security and to check in immediately and they asked me if I had a fit to fly form but I said I have only just done it and that I could walk if necessary.
“But they said not to worry about it and let me through.
“We were originally in separate parts of the plane but they gave us a whole row of six seats to sit with each other and the staff was the same as who had been on the flight out there so they remembered us and were extremely friendly.
“It was all just a way to get through and make sure we didn’t miss our flight.”
Well, Wolf’s viral post has certainly received a mixed reaction online, with many hailing his actions: “Work smart, not hard.”
Another even said: “Get your money’s worth lad!”
However, some weren’t impressed, with one user saying: “Imagine pretending to need a wheelchair. My son actually needs a wheelchair and it’s not something anybody should be pretending about.”
