Take the cloth bag outside and empty into the bin, then the dust stays outside and you have saved a tree. Isn't that a good thing?<BR/>I do agree about the non-speedy-online-checkin-bag-drop-queue, which is pointless and frustrating. It should be automated like it is in some places in Europe.Cat Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337378670977213164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-20250500844752433562009-03-16T11:54:00.000+04:002009-03-16T11:54:00.000+04:00My thoughts exactly!

If you ever went through Perth and copped the 3 desks serving the 3 business class passengers and the untended desk with the 100 economy passengers dieing in the non moving line, you'd know what I meant. In Melbourne, it got my family past the hours long queues when the computer checkin system had crashed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-80386659226403414012009-03-14T07:54:00.000+04:002009-03-14T07:54:00.000+04:00Have you checked out the self check in at T3 in Du...Have you checked out the self check in at T3 in Dubai? Not only do you check in on the net... after you turn up at the airport, you simply walk up to the self check in counter, weigh your own bag, even tag your bag and let the bag on the belt. No 'other human' intervention here till you turn up at the immigration counters!!Dubai Photo Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992390957821105778noreply@blogger.com
