Today I had a pleasure of my first flight to US. And I must say I really enjoyed all the procedures. For example, the questions at Zurich Airport -- I met a very senile lady. She asked me several questions twice, without apparently registering the fact. Maybe I should have tried to answer two different things -- just to cross check if she was at least listening to the answers.
But the jewel of jewels is the Philadelphia Airport. It took me more than two hours to get from the first plane to the gate for the connecting flight. And I do not understand why. I mean, clearly there is some concept of the parallelism. But why the hell they are not using the full power of it? At least half of the stands in both immigration and security checkpoints were closed. Not to mention that I was directed to really slow and really long lane. At the securoty checkpoint, I was directed to get off my shoes. I really hated it. Not the process taking the shoes off but the missed opportunity -- I would enjoy so much taking off my hiking shoes after full one day trip. But because I put off my shoes on the plane, my feet weren't smelly so there was nothing to enjoy too much.
Anyway, let us continue with the story. The connecting flight was scheduled on 4pm. But it would not be fun if the flight was not delayed. For example one hour due to the weather at San Francisco. Oh, did I tell you one hour. Noo, that was really naive from them. The current "departure forecast" is 7:30. And I already dropped of my luggage with what -- with the us power adaptor. So I even cannot use the computer all that time :-(
