What would be more horrendous?
1. Zero OLCI (the case here)
2. Zero catering (anywhere in the world)
3. More than 30-60 minutes from plane departure to landslide after an international flight and with zero checked bags (for this TR, only 30 min!)

ngl as I buy my own airport catering and I’ve never actually flown internationally without carryon. The airport experience for getting onto the plane in this TR reminds me of my wife’s challenge for cuba > Mia at the airport. Mega queue and fears of missing the flight.

I’m so addicted to OLCI & curbside (luggage) that I would also freak out if OLCI wasn’t available and I had to arrive hours before the flight only to see this nonsense. I can see why one would call this horrendous even though I still assumed worse.
