A flight from Germany to Egypt had to be postponed after it was realised that one of the passengers was a runaway child.

Two-year-old Ana Miele somehow managed to escape from her parents and sneak onto a plane which was bound for Egypt.

Her parents raised the alarm just before they were due to board a flight to Tunisia and a full-scale search of the airport was launched.

This proved unfruitful, but air traffic controllers put a message out to pilots and Ana was finally located by air stewards.

'She took a seat as good as gold and strapped herself in,' said a stewardess. 'No one had any idea that she was alone.'

The flight was postponed just before take off and Ana was returned to her parents.
