In Kaoshiung I stayed @ 鹽埕，愛河戀。NT$1,299 only. Everywhere I go, if breakfast is included, and if the breakfast is decent, I 感恩 already.

Have a safe flight. Update us on the inbound/outbound immigration wait.

I have a few of these. My airline gives them to me and I keep them for future reuse if lines are short.

I like to have a hold on these too but for TG its only for business class pessengers while I strictly fly only cattle class, sigh

Once you get into passport control you see this fuck thing - 8 snake like rows, each about each about 35m long so inside this room itself you have 280m of queue to contend with before the 8 twin-counters of which only 5 are maned by 2 officers while 3 by single officer total 13. Luckily line is moving. Oh oh this is only inside the immigration hall, the line outside leasing into the hall was about 100m long and growing.

Be warned

I have to admit it did not take long in the immigration hall although the queue was very long, 35mins. Catch I guys later. Taking off soon.

After seeing the pics and the previous one you posted, don't feel like getting out of LOS.

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

joetys where are you flying to?

Thanks for the report outbound. The consolation is that a single-line is better than the old system where you had multiple lines, one for each counter - you had to tikam which was the best line (usually when 2 officers man the booth and when officers are women) to choose.

35 minute wait not that bad. Previously, I've averaged 15-20 minutes if not in the Fast Track line.

So for me:
5 min (check-in. More for others)
+ 35 min (immigration) + 10 min (security)
+ 15 min (the marathon walk that Suvarnabhumi is)
+ 10 min (additional gate security for certain flights)
+ 30 min (at gate 30 mins before departure)
= I need to be at airport at least 1 hr 45 minutes before departure.

2 hr 15 mins if I want to buy duty-free, exchange money, go to airport lounge etc.

KNN.

He is flying to Kaoshiung via Taoyuan.

Seems the immigration Q is still nightmarish at swampy. 35mins is a killer. Thankfully, CNX (2nd largest city THI) is nothing like it -only 4 lines, usually 2 manned. But then, int'l flights are nowhere like swampy.

Leaving for station earth this afternoon, will upload some belated CNX pics (after I get over hosting fix). Some northern flavor after isaan and Patts fix:p

Pai Seh, was mao last night when I got back and left my phone in the car. Yeah, the airport at CNX is much better due to most flights are domestics rather than international.

How's the air situation in CNX?

 

[chonburifc]

Had MK for lunch but did not go for steamboat. Order one Wanton/Char Siew Soup, Braised Pork Ribs, Har Kow and plain green noodles (Bah Mee Yok). Pai Say, too hungry so eat the Har Kow and green noodles first.

OK, the wanton/char siew not so fantastic but the braised pork ribs is good. This is a new item on the MK menu.

 

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

I am surprised that the airport remained packed despite being a 7.30 am flight, which means the pic must have been taken at about 6.00 am in the morning.

Joety must be on board HSR by now.
