I went "old school" for the return flight. I didn't even bother with online check in. I didn't even try the touchscreen self-service machine. I went straight to the baggage check-in queue (<i>sans</i> boarding pass) and when I got to the desk, I smiled apologetically and said, "I couldn't get the machine to check me in, can you help?"<br /><br />Baggage and I were checked in, one time. Yes please! One point for me.Koekiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174544977125170134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552736.post-89304996875036458422010-06-17T04:36:37.462+02:002010-06-17T04:36:37.462+02:00Wtf is up with 1st world airport check-ins!?!

My guy nearly missed his Alice Springs flight too because of the chaos! <br /><br />You check in online the night before, but then you must stand in line, just like before, with everyone. Why not just keep the old system, if the new system does not add an ounce of efficiency?<br />Except now there are all types of "new" queues, but not any shorter, and in our case, no Qantas person knew which queue we were meant to be in, so we were incorrectly moved about 2 or 3 times! CURSE SWEAR! <br /><br />They do go out of their way to make travel as stressful as possible these days, I reckon/ conspire. <br /><br />Brilliant about James Bond!<br /><br />Monte Carlo made me feel ill with how rich it was. And my North African Arab mate could not join me there because, well, he is too poor... so they don't have visas, but they do have "wealth" police who will harass you enough till you are forced to leave.Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552736.post-71699224526414220392010-06-16T22:51:56.966+02:002010-06-16T22:51:56.966+02:00It would appear that you arrived there somewhat &q...It would appear that you arrived there somewhat "shaken, not stirred".
