I really must complain about the LAX transit lounge...

This is not what I expected at all from previous agonising experiences and I humbly accept that I will need to retract some of a historical post about the transit procedure for passengers transiting through to Auckland.

True, the flight was fairly quiet so the queue didn’t stretch all the way to Anaheim but the friendly greeting, smiles and witty banter I enjoyed with the lovely customs officer Flores was quite unexpected.

The lounge itself is still rubbish and the fact that we need to be contained at all and that I needed to pay $14 to apply for authorisation to be here for 2 hours continues to be baffling but common sense does appear to have started to prevail. Good job it was only 2 hours though given the slightly disturbing sign that was prominently displayed there.
