Either that or it's a union shop and they only want to process a certain number of PAX per hour.
Yes, I participated in the gong show at YVR Canada customs this morning. Nexus machines not working so get in the regular line. Then the Nexus machines came on line but the cattle herders did not want anyone to go there because that would be unfair for the Nexus members in the regular line.
My my wife just lifted the rope and went over there. We started a trend because everyone followed us.
Then there was the joy of the domestic transfer security area. Process 1 person every 2 minutes. They finally opened a second lane.
How much does one pay for the airport improvement fee in YVR? And more importantly, other than really big pieces of local art, what are they doing with it? Obviously it's not on the security screening.
