Fly to Scandanvia and you will all be in Heaven I know I was.

Everyone stands at least a meter back in loose formation and when you spot your bag you move forward and retrieve it. If there is a coffin dodger going forward you grab thier bag for them and dump it on their cart and you get a smile and what I presume is thankyou in the local lingo. You reply with "nae bother love" in English and you get a "Thankyou young man" in reply and a load of locals nodding there head in an approving manner.

Compare that to the hell that is the domestic arrivals in Gatwick with a pishie belt that dumps the bags off at the other end with a couple of 737's and a couple of Q400's pax all fightng to get to it even though there is sod all chance of thier bags arriving for another 40 mins.
