I flew out on CX last week from JNB to HKG. Boarding was an endurance test...

First we were told Gate 8....on my way to gate 8 I met people on the way back who told me they had been told it was gate 23. On the board they were showing gate 28, in the end it was gate 21....

Boarding was a mess. Two signs showing Boarding Zones 1 and 2 were at head height and fairly visible. The sign for business and first was at breast height and invisible in the throngs of people.

We then boarded a bus. The bus became full and closed the doors. Instead of driving off they parked another bus in front so the full bus couldn't go anywhere. Consequently both buses arrived at the plane at the same time. Programmed bunfight....

To be honest, I started to get aggravated but then common sense kicked in and I just shrugged it off thinking "this is Africa...."
