Last year, when I visited South Africa and part of my visit entailed visiting Johannesburg or Jo’burg, as the citizens call it. When we arrived from Livingstone, Zambia, I thought what a terrible airport, even worst than Atlanta. Well arriving to Jo’burg was bad, but leaving was much worst!
Okay, we arrive at the airport, but quickly learned, there’s no place to check in for Swiss Air … we were flying to Zurich. So what we had to do was actually walk past what looked like counters to check in … never would have figured this out, since there were no sign … not even pictorially. So, we get in line with our bags, show our pass ports, and then seem to exit again, but this time we see what looks like ticket counters. At this counter we were able to check in and then we went through security, which looked like the place where we just left. Finally, we get to go to our gate. If this sounds confusing, good, because that’s what it was like. I am sure that I could not navigate check-in again if I had too.
Last word, I hope Jo’burg is ready for the World Cup in 2010. They have a long way to go. I thought the airport workers at Atlanta were the most incompetent, but Jo’burg may hold this honor now. Atlanta is a close second.
