Re: Whats next at IAH?

Customs procedures have changed and lines shouldn't be an issue now. It's basically a series of officers who randomly ask questions or pick random pax for "inspection". Otherwise, unless you have previously declared at immigration, you walk right out. I'm surprised this isn't a bigger dea...

Hello A.net,

Re: Future Hubs: Where could it happen?

Re: Is Etihad Essentially A Failure?
