I have traveled the world extensively in a number of developing countries and have NEVER seen anything like these lines. Until now, Moscow airport was my all-time worst delay - 45 mins.
We spend OVER TWO HOURS IN LINE. The lines would go for 3-7 minutes without moving at all, then would move up an inch.
Thanks forthe head-up on this.
We are landing at 2.45pm on Saturday - and looking at the arrivals information for DPS we look like we are the third international flight to arrive after 2.00pm.
We have purchased a VIP arrival service for USD30 per passenger which includes: meet at gate, obtain visa, fast track immigration (private channel), collect bags, deposit into your car, and a bottle of water!!
Looks like it is going to be the best $30 we spent!
