AKL wants to be like LHR
While going through AKL, I was super efficient in getting all my things out in bins within seconds. An older looking security agent called up to the person manning the X-Ray and said "John, I wish we were like LHR. Force everyone to one carryon bag".
I was stunned that an efficient and beautiful little airport would want to be like LHR - a dump. If they ever end up following LHR into forcing people to one carry on bag, I will not miss AKL in my travel plans.
