Monitors says that my gate is open, so I walk to long corridor of brand shops to finaly get to the xray counter and then proceed to walk to my gate.

When I get to my gate, the stairs are blocked and it says on a piece of paper that the gate doesn't open for another 40 minutes. I'm left there with no chairs to sit down, and no ways to go back where I'm coming from. So... I have to wait there standing up for 40 minutes.

Once they come and unblock the stairs, I go sit down only to realize that there are no shops period. I cannot buy a bottle of water, nothing.

Bad...

First part sounds like an operating or systems glitsch, or a lack of communication with airline staff, and the lack of shops once you get to the gate is typical of most airports isn't it?

Let's hope it get better, however; I think the worse is yet to come. to Bangkok
