I loved the comment this morning... "The security staff who man the passenger security points were caught up in the employees queue for the staff security checks, and so opened late..." -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

See Denver International, Bangkok, etc. etc. More the norm than an exception. The only one I remember being basically flawless was Inchon. Which is why no one ever heard anything about it's opening. |

How was the opening of T3 in Singapore in January? I had no problems with T3 when I went thru in the first week on my way to Amsterdam.. I wish it had a swimming pool like terminal 1. The showers are a great refresher anyway. cheers Glen |
