First@ Immigration Counter 15 Minutes , then told me to go, then nicely informed to Customs, first put my hand luggage into huge scanner then asked me many questions I was laughing they were laughing too, very nice QZ customs ladies, I told them again same story, one lady finally said if I was your wife she would have divorce me after looking at the seals at my Passport, so plain and simple say that you are doing a Mileage run.
My wife has questioned my sanity for doing this run, but no threats of divorce - yet. When she gets her upgraded seats with me next year, she might complain a little less!

Thanks :-)
