| Chengdu airport is very nice and modern. I like the open and bright feeling it has.
The airline workers are also very nice and helpful, there. I remember that I had forgotten to put my pocket knife (a Leatherman, similar to a Swiss Army Knife) into my checked luggage. It was still in my pocket when I entered the security line! I thought, "I will lose my nice, expensive ($55) knife. I will have to find a replacement." (I had 10 more weeks of travel ahead, and the Leatherman is a useful tool.) Rather than try to hide it and sneak it through the security check, I showed it to them and said, "I know I cannot take this on the airplane." A very nice young woman from the airline took it, found my pack in the luggage processing, and put the knife inside. I don't think an airport in another country would do that. In the U.S., at best, there may be a postal service at the airport, and I could mail the knife home. Otherwise, it is confiscated by the security check. |
Yes. I Expect the Flight Delay
