I went to Portugal earlier this year (Irish Passport).
When heading towards immigration counters we were met by an IO asking where passport was from. 1 person had a UK Passport and he was directed towards a very long Q snaking around the terminal area. People in the Q were looking in our direction with long envious faces. There was about 20 ahead of me in the EU Q and we went through very quickly. I had kept an eye on the non EU Q and noticed that not 1 person had gone through in the time it took 20 EU Citizens to go through. I'd say people would have been stuck for hours in the Q. Any additions in time to process will be multiplied by the 100's or 1000's
I find that UK people have the lowest standard of proficiency in the English language in the English speaking world. I think they assume that they are number one. I have rarely met an English person that knows "lose is not loose" nor " have is not of"
If you argue with a fool, nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Another one I like, that was frequently used by my old Maths teacher back in my school days.
Maths is foolproof, but unfortunately it is not idiot proof.
Maybe they believe the Tourist will return to his own country before it goes to trial, then the case will be thrown out of court.
Maybe they believe the Police will not pursue the case to begin with because of the above.
Maybe they are smarter than you think.
Is this just a code share with an existing flight.
Why else would they need an agreement with another airline.
this decision was taken following the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Turkish Airlines in August.
