We arrived yesterday afternoon on the Alaska flight from the US. We’ve been coming here for 12 years and never had much of a problem in the airport. Sure it’s a bit slow coming through immigration. And then gathering baggage, was always a bit messy. But yesterday was really bad. We arrived at four, and with only two people checking immigration for two full planes, it took us until 5:30 to get into the baggage area. Once we were in the baggage area, there was only one man checking customs forms. If somebody got a red light, he stopped the line, went back, helped them through the x-ray machines, and then looked in the luggage. He worked alone for another 20 minutes, until a man came over from immigration once everyone was checked in. We finally got outside around 6:30 and no taxis left. A van arrived at 7:15 PM and took six of us to different locations up the coast. We then had two or three other incidents along the way and were delayed further. If we hadn’t been so tired, it would’ve been funny. It is a good story now. We were told the Airport was short of help. So I’m wondering is this a regular thing or was it a one time event? Are there problems leaving the airport too? Want to know for future departures and arrivals
