Evidently they wanted everyone to travel Air Viasa (spelling ?) The worst Airline in the world. I had to stay 3 extra days as they had over booked my confirmed return flight to the UK by 80 seats.
Ended up costing that airline £3500 or $5000 for my double room and all the food I could eat or drink. Needless to say it was party time 
Fucking retarded country i will never go back  |
Yeah they need to blow that airport up and start over.
My "carry on" bag was over 8lbs and it was a 150 USD dollar fine. Yes I said carry on, they weighed that shit. I threw out everything that want important and got it to 8.
Even though I booked my tickets via expedia, they kicked me to standby and did'nt even assign me a seat number. I had the possibility of having to wait for another plane.
You need to pay an Airport tax just to leave the country (you're not told about this until the last minute, works out to about 75 USD)
Huge lines, none of that auto checkin stuff we all know and love like the states have.
They now have a huge glass barrier that separates you from these kidnapping cab drivers. It's about 8.5 feet, and these guys are trying to climb over it and literally screaming at gringos saying "mr smith, the hotel sent me, i am your cab driver today" and if you don't respond they are like "mr johnson, the hotel sent me, i am your cab driver today" They try all the gringo last names, it must work.
