maffew buildings posted:My luggage was delayed on a connection from Hong Kong back to Okinawa so the airline, upon my bags hitting the ground, had someone drive three hours in a horrendous tropical storm to drop it off to where I was staying . Contrast that with Delta Airlines and, well, yeah. Yeah, my bag got set aside on my trip to New Zealand (my very first flight, from PDX to LAX, was cancelled after I checked in. airline got me rerouted blah blah, word never got to the luggage department so my bag stayed in Portland) and it took a good hour futzing around in NZ at the airport to figure this out. They gave me a bag of toiletries, a basic change of clothes, and then pulled out the ole envelope of petty cash and peeled off $250 NZ and just gave it to me, no forms no nothing. That helped alleviate the situation, let me tell you. And then they drove my bag halfway across the south island a few days later when it did arrive. I was fairly pleased with their level of service.

https://worldnewsera.com/news/europe/potent-weapons-reach-ukraine-faster-than-the-know-how-to-use-them/ An example of how ending weapons to Ukraine is more complicated than just shoving things into cargo planes or railroad cars. quote:The M777 is highly mobile and capable of firing long distances, but training has been a bottleneck in deploying the howitzers, Ukrainian officers say. At courses in Germany that lasted a week, the United States trained soldiers to fire the weapon and others to maintain it.

wtf are all these nice lost luggage stories aeroflot into nazarbayev international gave me gently caress all and made me travel back to the airport to pick up the lost bag on my own dime, and then it took like an hour wandering between various service desks to figure out which of them actually handled lost luggage

Tbf that’s Aeroflot. You’re lucky they didn’t steal the valuable poo poo and leave a weird boot imprint on your unfolded shirts after the luggage was thrown at you by a gold medalist in women’s lifting

Since I was just transiting I didn't have a visa to enter Russia, so I was escorted via armed guard to a guarded wing of a hotel and told to stay in the room and they would come fetch me the next day before the flight. I guess it's better than in the US where they'd just say "gently caress you, sleep in the concourse" but it felt extremely grim.

Every flight to the US requires a visa, even if you're transiting, so you wouldn't have a situation where you're stuck in limbo. Can definitely happen in the UK and EU, though. psydude fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Jun 7, 2022 |

I was working in Colombia and flew from Heathrow to Bogota connecting via Miami and they made me clear customs and immigration, then walk round the corner and come back in through customs and immigration to make my connection. I was not a happy bunny.

One airport I've been in -- IIRC MSP in St. Paul-Minneapolis -- forces you to go out of the secure zone and back through TSA in order to switch gates between one wing of the terminal and another. Extremely annoying.
