I'll keep this review relatively short, given that my review of the outbound flight was detailed. This time around we boarded through the forward door. Actually, all passengers boarded through the forward door, which meant that the boarding process was significantly less relaxing than usual. I was in seat 14L on this flight, the same…

Once the midfield concourse at LAX opens it should be a relief Rather odd it doesn’t park at t2 as a skyteam carrier.
Better prioritise an international flight and bus domestic customers to and from a remote stand
fish floss is way healthier than pork floss, and is a mainstay for my kids' breakfasts. love that stuff
Floss = Rousong. It's not half bad, though I'd question whether it's a western favourite...☺
Slight type-o, "The turbulence continued for others" should probably be "for hours" unless you had some special part of the plane that did not have turbulence which I that's not something AA or Delta charge extra for I don't think is possible. 😉
Also really wonder how a fish floss sandwich is a western favorite...
Flying through China to Bangkok in 2 weeks
Slightly worried that so many of the food choices have fish and seafood (which I don’t eat)
Guess I’ll binge before the flight just in case!
When I flew Xiamen inbound to Seattle this year, they also gave me a Chinese US Customs form, but they gladly gave us an English one although funny enough we didn't need it pass SEA customs as we could do it electronically.
Stuffing people into a bus and making them stand and wait for 30min is terrible. Somebody (perhaps bus driver who left) should be held accountable. This is just another example of the insensitive ad inconsiderate Immigration/Customs dept. They are usually rude to visitor and returning US citizens. I've never seen a smile from them, unless they're joking with each other? And now this??? I hope less tourist come to this unwelcoming country.
@Richard L
Did you not read the conversation between Lucky and the immigration officer?
This is what Lucky has written -
<>
Note the last sentence the officer said - We didn't request the hold. So the immigration did NOT request the hold of the bus. Somewhere someone just dropped the ball - may be the bus driver?
Contrary to your comment that " I’ve never seen a smile from them". we almost always get a "Welcome Home." from the immigration officer once he finished the formality. Occasionally the officer said, "have a good flight back home." or "have a good day." or some similar pleasantry. And we are not native citizens.
So I dont know whether it is your bad luck or what that you are never welcome back as returning US citizen.
@Richard L do you actually think the bus driver is a customs agent? ICE has nothing to do with running those buses. It is usually Swissport or a contractor like that. That's like yelling complaining to a valet at a restaurant that your food is too cold.
LAX is not one of my favorite airport arriving on international arrival flight, not competent.
Also what kind of curry sauce is that? Doesn’t look like curry sauce to me at all, not Indian curry, not Thai curry, not S.E. Asian curry, not jap curry, definitely it’s Xiamen airline style curry I guess.
Too bad Lucky didn’t get a picture of the fish floss sandwich. Fish floss is more popular in Taiwan. In Singapore we used to eat DIY pork floss sandwich at home when we were young, if I remember correctly, around the 90s, the bakeries started selling pork floss bun. It’s a big hit, now many bakeries and coffee shops started selling them. They are delicious local snack, I will recommend to try it.
I'm SkyTeam Elite Plus, and Amex Plat cardholder. If I'm flying Xiamen economy, can I use Delta Sky Club in T2, or only the KAL lounge in TBIT?
Max issue and lack of Boeing NMA starting to really turn the narrow body market.
This is the reason I have chosen to fly out and back into California through San Francisco. LAX and specifically Bradley International Terminal is a nightmare. I hate how inefficient and slow immigration and customs are. And let’s not get started on luggage claim ♀️.
