Las Vegas Airport
Posted on May 22, 2007 in Personal by Andy @ Yellow Swordfish1 Comment »

This is just a quickie. We arrived at Las Vegas airport yesterday afternoon after a long, eleven and a half hour flight. I am used to US customs and baggage reclaim and was expecting about an hour before being disgorged for the car hire. I think that’s about the quickest I have experienced it in the past.

Fifteen minutes! From getting off the plane to hitting the street! Admittedly we arrived just minutes before a Virgin Atlantic 747 filled the immigration hall but fifteen minutes? And the guy on passport control almost cracked jokes! And our baggage was just… there!

Of course, it was all spoilt as I’d screwed up the car hire and when we did get a car managed to get immediately lost.

One Response to “Las Vegas Airport”

    and when we did get a car managed to get immediately lost

    I knew that after I read the first sentence.
    It is the only logical final of a “quickie” written by man with sense of humor.

    Have a great vacation time, Andy.
