The N factor strikes again!
Am I reading this right? You come into Domestic to catch an international flight and you have to collect your bags, get a taxi, head around the airport perimeter, go through the toll gates and run the gauntlet at International Departures? That sounds like fun! It shall be like unto arriving at Heathrow and heading off to Gatwick on the M25, squared or cubed.
I had been watching the fun as they built that domestic terminal, wondering to myself what fresh hell would erupt once it was put into operation and now I think I know.
