According to Mailonline, one holidaymaker handed over 150 Jordanian Dinars (£13) after an official walked along asking tourists if they wanted to avoid the queues at Sharm el-Sheikh airport today.

British spies believe lax security allowed an ISIS bomb to be smuggled into the hold of the Russian airline brought down on Saturday killing 224 people.
Britons travelling through Sharm el-Sheikh airport further confirmed the situation, saying that they had been able to pay guards £15 to jump security without their bags being checked.
Tourists say officials approached them as they queued for security and asked if they wanted to just walk through for cash.
The Britons say after handing over the money, they were taken from snaking queues and allowed to bypass electronic body and bag scanners.
