On the way to the airport we are glad that we already get rid of the carriage. Apart from the fact that our taxi shows us ways through the capital that we definitely wouldn’t have found. So we get around the rush-hour traffic. In addition, the driver knows which entrance we have to join to come immediately to the right counter.
Actually we only must go through the door to stay already in front of the Condor counter queue. Wow, we could not believe it. But it is not really bad because at first we have to pay 22 US dollars for crossing the border (immediately after the entrance on the right side) and fill out the small border schedule.
To shorten the next waiting period before the check in, the people at the airport have some own enjoyable ideas: at first the tickets are checked by Condor, secondly they look whether you have the border schedule.
A few metres further, the passports are controlled and the exit forms are collected. Finally, we arrive at the human suitcase-screen. Four unfortunate people search on two tables for prohibited or dangerous goods in all cases and bags. Really no comfortable business. Apart from the fact that several women in front of us have problems to close their suitcase afterwards.
After we got our boarding pass and finally have passed the security check, we can cancel the duty free area confidently. It is just because of the time, that also is too less for the two high-priced American fast-food-restaurants. Not enough controlled? Don’t worry, who has luck (like me), will be controlled direct before the boarding again. Still not enough? Then look forward to Your home. So, back in Germany, we were expected by a fat German sheepdog, that we just should pass.
