On-Time Arrival, On-Time Departure

Who doesn’t like a bit of pampering..a bit of ushering through the crowded room..a bit of skipping the long long queue..a bit of VIP treatment..and it feels much better when ur not entitled to it..!!

I’ve learnt a few tricks of the trade..well let’s just call it an upshot of my brain’s propensity to constantly endeavor in excelling in its ad infinitum quest for fretting out the path of least persistence..! (read..i’m too lazy to do anything :P)

I really hate waiting in a queue..especially at the airport when you know you are always waiting in a queue to get to the other queue..first there is the check in..then the security check..then the taxiing to the plane and then another one to get on the plane..and that’s just one way..!! You have to do all of this all over again in the reverse order when you land..

Every time I was made to join the queue I always cribbed and whined and grumbled and wondered if there was really an easier way out..and after much planning and meticulous calculations I chalked out my evil plans..If nobody goofs up you can get your boarding pass, check in you luggage, get security clearance and get to the bus in 15-20mins flat..So why waste hours waiting in the queues.??

Now I always make sure I reach the airport right ‘On-Time’ and wait for my escort from the airline scanning through the crowd hastily.. “Any passengers for Delhi-Bangalore flight…”
