What a fooking rip off.

[jimsan]

So I'm leaving Peru and as I enter security at the airport I have to ditch the bottle of water I bought previously.
Past security I go to buy another two bottles of water but, surprise surprise, it's more than three times the price I paid earlier.

So I arrive in Madrid and I'm in transit but, even so, I have to go through another security check so, once again, I have to ditch the water.

Past this checkpoint I once again buy more water, 2.80 Euros each.
A rip off.

I arrive in Heathrow, in Transit, another security checkpoint, ditch the water again, and buy more.

I understand the security reasons for not being allowed liquids on the plane but why do they have to rip you off with these extortionate prices.

The plane from Madrid to Heathrow was selling sandwiches and drinks, no food supplied for free.
Basic sandwiches were between £4 and £6.
A small cup of tea was £2.

As soon as I win the lottery I'll treat myself to lunch next time.

:becky:

International flying is now one of the highest forms of masochism. Cost, copious security checks, discomfort in hamster sized seats, to name just a few issues. And to top it off, some fat bloke munching on sandwiches in a darkened room behind the scenes gets to look at your genitals on the new screening equipment.

This is the state of the modern world of air travel. :cool:

I'm not worried about anyone looking at my genitals, they're in good condition.

:lol:

[jimsan]

I could be refused leave to board though.

They might consider them to be a dangerous weapon.

You might indirectly find yourself on Youtube in due course. :lol:

Still happy about the screening gear?

Before this innovation I had to bribe the airlines reps at check-in so as to get seated next to a cute single guy. It seems that now I will also need to bribe the fat bloke in the dark room to make him tip me off on some private details so that i would now whom I should be stalking after. :becky:

I had a real good laugh thinking about something like this appearing on youtube.

But the sandwich muncher might direct you to an 82yo donkey. :lol:
