Not very often I fly into an airport an have them roll out the red carpet, literally… justified i suppose but the brass band was over the top and lining the airport with armed military personnel is just unnervinging… Ok so the reception was for the Uruguay president who road in the first class cabin with us on the Lan Chile flight 960 or as we like to call it, air force uno. Didn’t get to meet him because we were forced to exit the aircraft out the rear but I still contend that that bum nicked my iPod as i passed by during boarding…
