An hour later, on the plane, (Philippine Airlines) I was handed a serrated, three inch blade, stainless steel knive to eat my meal with oh: :blink:

(Only in the Philippines) ]





Hi,
i actually found that very unusual myself when i was traveling on Singapore Airlines that they let everyone use stainless steel knives, when if things that i thought were fine are taken of people..

I don't actually mind too much about airport security, even at times its a bit OTT, however the one species that I really hate is the stupid, stupid baggage label inspectors.

On arrival in Manila, you must have your baggage label with you for inspection, if not, you will have a hard time leaving the airport. During our last trip to Philippines, Elsa and I flew domestic about 6 times, and each time, we had to encounter these idiots. A couple of times I got close to raising my voice at these so called "important people".

Having said that I did raise my voice at the tourism desk people at Manila airport when they wanted 1600 Php to let Elsa out of Philippines, even though she shouldn't have paid it. Honestly, talking to these idiots is like talking to a tape machine on loop, I just gave up and left them to it
