Credit where credit is due. This summer Mrs999 and I were in America. We had a domestic first class flight on UA, ORD-LGA. We were the first ones off the plane and proceeded directly to the baggage claim area. By the time we got to the carousel, there were about 10 or 12 bags -- including our two -- already lined up on the floor, with an attendant watching over them. It was amazing.

cheers,

Henry
