Over the weekend, I boarded a flight from Singapore to LA via Taipei. China Airlines is not a bad airline, although Taipei airport is a real let down. A four hour transit in Chiang Kai Shek airport was really bad – the shops were pathetic, and didn’t accept non-Taiwanese currency. The waiting room was dusty and their furniture belonged to another decade. Ughs.
At LAX, the immigration queue for visitors stretched for hundreds of yards. By some chance, it seemed that flights from UK, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan were all landing at the same time. It took me an hour to clear the formalities, and another hour to drive from LAX to Santa Ana.
Is there a better way to fly than this? Well at least I have Monday off.
