Air Travel

Question:

Rudest air line check in person I’ve ever encountered was at Dublin Airport. She worked for the Airport, and was handling check in for Lufthansa. Hung Over!! She opened her booth late, after sitting head in hands for 20 minutes. We were travelling Business Class, and she obviously thought she ‘had’  us in the wrong queue! Made us weigh our (smallish) carry on – even though we were entitled to two carry ons. Questioned us on matters of no concern to her, delayed issuing our boarding passes for no obvious reason. She was the only rude person we encountered in 2 weeks in the country – but she took the shine right off the Irish experience for us. Sadly when we talk about Ireland – we always seem to get back to the ogre at Dublin airport!!
