It's really important to give yourself plenty of time.
But who's shooting the video?

I am not sure who shot it, but apparently cathay put her and her bags and her traveling companions on the next flight to LAX--so she got to CA okay--

Actually, that was me at the San Juan Airport when we were 5 hours waiting for a replacement plane last year.
Sorry, I was really upset, plus I'm from Philly.

Connie - were you on the USAir flight with the landing gear problem?

I bet they couldn't wait to get her out of there! I feel sorry for the staff and the passengers on the flight she
did get on. She probably caused a fuss the whole way.

Are you sure they didn't just tell her that she couldn't get Cocoberry shakes anymore?

My Chinese is not so good but I would venture a guess that the dark haired man was getting an earful about how it was his fault they missed the plane.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but the first minute and a half looked familiar. I saw a Forumite do the same thing that Sunday that the Beach Bar ran out of Red Stripe.

Sometimes you just gotta cry it out.

I would be just glad that she didn't have a weapon. Sheesh!
Isn't it amazing that with as many planes that fly across the world that one person thinks they are the only one inconvenienced?
She should have hired a private aircraft if she thought she was THAT important.
Pathetic...

I recognized the Hong Kong airport and no that wasn't me in the video.
I think the woman was having a delayed reaction to the cab fare extorted from her.
My husband and I joked that the cabbie had x-ray vision because he charged exactly what we had in HK$. Nearly double what another NICE cabbie had charged us to get to our hotel on arrival.
And he yelled at us the whole way "you take picture", "this bridge better than Golden Gate", "these better than USA". But we just paid up and laughed at the experience.
Jeez..
