MNL!!!! Don't get there early......

Dreadful conditions waiting for check in not just to open.... but to have signs changed to show which desks were going from X airline to Y....... (at least when I used to pass through there...)

LAX is fine...especially now TBIT has been improved so much....And as I have commented before in relation to my dealings with TSA... I have never had the sort of experience with CBP so many talk about..... they aren't friendly...but that doesn't equal "rude".....not in my book. Perhaps being an Aussie makes a difference...I have no way of knowing.... but in 47 trips... never a "bad" experience.... YMMV of course.....
