Jordan and Israel Trip Part 1

Perth International Airport- 01/11/2019

Due to my lovely Perth family dropping me off to the airport after a lovely Indian meal, I have half an hour until I can check-in. So obviously its a drink at the airport bar overlooking the check in counters, and indulging in some people watching. The only people who don’t seem stressed are the flight attendants, I’m amazed how many people are wearing jeans, and how many families seem unable to fly without their entire worldly possessions stuffed into suitcases.

So Check in was more complicated that expected. Apparently, when the airline changed the flight times after booking, my payment became disassociated from my ticket, and I couldn’t get my boarding pass until this was sorted.

While trying to pass through Security, the nail scissors that were ignored the last half a dozen flights had to be inspected. The interesting thing is that I could not touch my backpack until it been cleared, and to make things quicker I had to give instructions exactly where the scissors were located. Apparently, I impressed the lady by giving clear instructions, but a better airport ninja would have put them onto the tray in the first place.

Second beer now just above my gate, hopefully nothing dramatic happens until I land in Hong Kong, which may be interesting due to the current state of civil unrest.
