At Barcelona Airport, we just dont care
Back from Spain.
It was quite relaxing..once i got there
Traveling was absolutely awful, going there and coming back
Just before i arrived there was a huge baggage handlers strike in Barcelona airport
they set fire to the runway caused all sorts of choas. but because my airline didnt use the baggage handlers that were on strike, my flight was unaffected.
so i arrived but no one else in my family did
of course i didnt know they hadnt arrived so i panic and desperately try to find them for 5 hours!
in a sea of angry spaniards! there were no lines just piles of people and everything was boiling hot
i could have been wearing a thong and a headband and still been hot. it was that hot
there had to be a million people there and they were all over the place pushing everyone and being hostile. It was so bad, not even the police knew what was going on.
When i asked a police officer to help me, he said, "I dont really care right now."
but this one family who saw me walking back and forth throughout the terminal sort of took me in, calmed me down gave me some food. cuz there was no way of getting any at the store because the line was at least an hour. but that family had been waiting there for two days! apparently this was the second day of the strike.
anyway, so
my dads familys flight was cancelled and my brothers was delayed 6 hours
but when i asked the people at information desk, which took an hour to get to, they told me that their flights were on time and had arrived
so i was panicing i thought it was some sort of bad joke
finally my brother showed up and we had to find our way to the apartment. 8 hours after arriving i made it to the apartment and passed out
flying back
this morning i had to be at that same airport for a 645AM flight
so i was there at 430 and it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to check in. so many lines.
because no one could bring any carry on stuff. NOTHING
it was soo boring on the flight. nothing to do. i couldnt even take a book
but it was really nice while i was there.
