Customs

30 mins in the customs line and I’m almost there.

This says carousel 9

 

 

[Saint Greg]

There’s  a spit show with the luggage. The big board said 9. 9 said Montreal. Now 9 doesn’t say Montreal. Montreal isn’t on the big board. And it’s been like that for awhile.

Hoping that works out.

The baggage complaint guy is telling everybody they’re backed up. It will be on the carousel it was supposed to

be on…when they get to it.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

The carnival rep is telling people today is Election Day and workers are given two hours to go vote…so the airport is short staffed.

Holy hell!😱

[Saint Greg]

Our carousel has said Istanbul for awhile. About every 20 mins they crank it up. 2 bags come out and it stops.

We are comparing notes and the general belief is that it’s just a problem with our plane. Because our plane isn’t at a gate and the luggage handlers aren’t going out to our plane because they have planes at gates to unload them.

Well, that stinks! Hope they get it together soon so you can get out of there! 😎

I’m so over all these luggage issues. It’s insane. 

[Saint Greg]

Security let me step out of here grab a snack and coffee and come back.

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Someone with the bag tracker says they’re moving now.

[Saint Greg]

A loud cheer just erupted

Sorry about your airport issues. When we flew Air Canada to Barcelona direct from Toronto last month we pulled right into a gate. Customs was easy and then we did have a bit of a wait for baggage, but nothing like yours. Hope the rest of the day goes smoothly.

Finally! What a long travel day that was, glad you had no major issues other than lack of sleep.

[Saint Greg]

Now th problem is getting a ride.

I was at the Uber spot for half an hour. They jerk you around for 5-10 mins then tell you no drivers are available and .

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I go over to the taxi area and there are hundreds in line
