I would like to thank the staff at the Malta International Airport for helping me find my purse.

I was travelling back to the UK and had taken my purse out to place it in a tray before clearing security. After clearing security, I was browsing around the shops, completely oblivious to the fact that I had left my purse behind. After about five minutes, I heard my name being called over the tannoy system and was told to go to the information desk. I did a double take when I was asked what colour my purse was; I told them it was pink and a smiling employee gave it to me there and then, when he confirmed my identity. I would like to thank the staff very much. Very efficient and very friendly.
