from terminal 4 ... lax

as expected, airport check-in was a complete clusterfuck this morning.

why aa didn't realize that travel would be heavy the day after a holiday? heck, they could have just looked at the ticket sales if they weren't sure of the impact. there were people EVERYWHERE.

i arrived at T-4 at 6 am for an 8 am flight. i've never seen so much fucking drama. no one knew where to go ... lines merged into lines that then went nowhere ... it was quite a sight. i hopped from the first class full-service line, business class self-service line and then back out to the skycaps ... which had the highest level of "which way do i go?" drama ... and FINALLY had my bag checked 25 minutes later.

(btw, if aa would get it's head of out its ass and dedicate a ticket counter to checking in bags of passengers who checked in online some of the crowds would be minimized. duh.)

security took 3 minutes. how's that for irony?
