Evening all,just wanted to post a quickie about the airport,what a breath of fresh air after JFK ,straight through with no queues at immigration and still the bags were waiting for us on the carousel ,excellent flight but more about that in TR .time for a shower and a few drinks in the hotel bars this evening will suffice this evening

Lucky chap. I had a 40 min wait at the hell that is MIA. Due to budget cuts they closed the two smaller CBP posts and now funnel all internationals in to one large hall. Over 100 CBP posts and well over 600 people in there.

Hope you had a good flight and was great meeting you in the clubhouse!!! Just crashed in my room and debating wether to get a drink+food at the downstairs bar or just sleep!! Catch up soon.

Very true. And you can't help but love a city that has a boat to the airport as a public transport option!

I agree Boston is a great airport to arrive at, I do the VS011 a lot and almost always arrive to an empty immigration hall (with the staff rushing over to man the cubicles!).

Just about to board the VS011 so fingers crossed its the same with this weeks 4 hour time difference.....
