WTF? I wear contact lenses and they irritate my eyes sometimes...they irritate everyone's eyes who wear them sometimes due to dust etc. getting in them. I usually take them out, wet them, and put them back in...now what the hell am I supposed to do? Or what if I want to go to sleep....you're not supposed to wear them if you sleep...and if you do they get drive...thus need contact fluid to wet them again! |
Yeh my hubby was complaining about that a few minutes ago. He flies for a living literally being a consultant and can't find his contact solution in Canada. Since a lot of times he'll go on standby, as O'hare these days always has been getting delays, checking his luggage causes problems.
SUCKSSSSSSS...
MK, my prayers and thoughts are with your family/friends. Hopefully everyone gets to their destination safe and sound. |

Is this what you had in mind?
From an Israeli newspaper - reads: "Sorry, Security requirements have increase" (more or less). |

My point precisely, lol.
(It's actually weird how you found EXACTLY what I was talking about. Creepy.) |

I'm shocked they still let you fly out POST security check. They must have had these s by the balls for weeks ahead of time to have confidence enough in letting your flight take off.
So you were aware of the happening before you left?
ps. welcome home (again) |

We were aware that there were heightened security measures but we were completely oblivious to the reasons for them. When we checked in everything was still hush hush. I did not find out exactly what was happening until I was sitting in my gate for like 2 hours watching BBC news and all the press conferences and what not.
Kind of freaky when you realize that you are right in the middle of the mess. :nervous:
(thank god we didn't stay an extra day in ibiza)
Edit: Shelley is supposed to be flying in to gatwick this afternoon so everybody cross your fingers in hopes that everything works out for her. |

I just passed through domestic security at Pearson and am currently enjoying a bloody caesar near my gate.
Check in and baggage check was no problem and only took 5 minutes (thanks to web check-in). If I hadn't had used web check-in I would have easily waited 30 to 40 minutes in the check in line.
The security (x-ray/metal detector) line was 40 minutes in length. I've done A LOT of domestic and US travel and to wait 40 minutes to pass through @ Pearson at 3:30 PM on a Thursday is unheard of.
The actual pass through security was very thorough. Not anal probe thorough - but they emptied my briefcase and swabbed my laptop. Despite the "no liquid" rule I was able to smuggle through some eye drops on my person. |
