Ngl I definitely imagined a false-positive Covid test or some other horrible experience that lasted for days. Just days of being inconvenienced. We should all remember one FTer who had a RTW type trip in 2021 including Mongolia. For a simple connection in ICN he tested positive and received Covid treatment in a hotel; I still don’t know if they served good bancha in the hotel. Meals were conveniently brought to his hotel room. Sarcasm of course since he was quarantined in the hotel room. That to me would also be horrendous.

for all the MU tech fiasco, it sounds like the staff made big efforts to take care of pax who had true risk of missing flights. Doesn’t sound like a situation of chatty staffers ignoring the queue as we’ve read about elsewhere in FT. So it doesn’t even sound like there was true risk of missing the flight. Obviously lounge time and plane spotting time was lost. That bites.

guess we know why MU was cheaper at 1200 hkd lol
