caged
I lost my flight...
For some weird reason, in India, you have to show up at the counter of your airline more than 3 hours before. 60 minutes before the take off... they close the counter!!!
The funny thing is that when I was outside of the airport I WAS ON TIME!!! But it was quite an adventure to acctually get inside. I was so crowded and I think it has to do something with the traffic because nobody seem to be nice and organized. At some point one guy was trying to get in but his luggage cart was hooked with mine, and he was acctually hitting mine when he was trying to uncouple it. Then, to enter, they gatekeeper sees your passport and ticket but that's normal.
Then they Xray all you luggage. (Isn't the non hand luggage supposed to be checked AFTER you check in with the airline?) but still normal. What is not normal is having 4 men getting all your stuff out of your bags and asking you why do you have many of the same magazines (anual repports)...
Anyway by the time I maid it to the countrer... it was closed. It was 11:55 pm and my flight was at 00:35...
And here I am, trying to enjoy...
...enjoying one more day in India.

Now I know.
After you check in the counter, you still have to go to Migration Officers, but that is normal, what is not normal is that 7 persons check either your boarding pass or passport before acctually boarding! And yes, that takes about one hour.
