He did things to it and it shouted at him to move closer; he did and it shouted at him to move further away. This cycle was repeated until his lips moved to form the FFS phrase. He joined my queue.
This did not happen in the film Minority Report - it might have spoiled it. On the other hand I might have understood it... |

That was the best thing about Dubai (apart from leaving). Going back to the UK and queuing for ages was a right pain after being able to breeze in and out with the e-gate card. They can get things right sometimes.
Is that horrible and negative? Great when I'm on a short hop and have no cases, soul destroying wait when you have checked in bags as it seems you have waited so much longer!! |

Re: E gate card...
I find that when coming from the UK it is much better to use LGW. Less queues, less risk on the M25, Less risk in crossing London and much nicer. You also get upgraded far more often because the Gatwick Flight (from Dubai anyway) is usually not full. Returning the baggage palava is much simpler at Gatwick. The new business class lounge is much better than the new one in Heathrow too. Security is just as slow.

had one for ages, get it for free with skywards!!
agree its essential;) I hate queueing. EDIT - Also agree that LGW is much nicer than LHW, esp as Emirates flies from North Terminal which is never as busy as the others. Luggage is usually fairly quick too. And last time I flew into LGW I was caught with way over my duty-free allowances, but a nice man let me off without any fines, allowed me to keep it all & just told me to read a leaflet next time! |
