THEY THINK THEMSELEVES ELITE ASIANS!
Are they themselves Asians ?
HIA staffs mainly in check in lines are very rude! they dont show respect to asian people
HIA doesn't even resist light rain! How can it make a rank at all?
HIA does not like people coming to drop off their loved ones. I was there recently to see of my mother and was quite rudely asked to move well away from the barriers that starts at the queue where the passengers check in. They moved me so far away that I could not see my mom getting to the check in desk and she eventually left without waving good bye to me as she could not see me and I her from where the HIA staff moved me to. This has never happened to me at LHR so I would deem it worthy of an award just on that.
@HIAQatar IS THE BEST AIRPORT IN THE WORLD,
OK .. HIA is new and has facilities. Heathrow Terminal 5 is busy, but I would not deem it worthy of an award.
Of course, they own almost all of london and probably even own the orginization that gave out the award
insah allah we will be on top Hamad International Airport (HIA) "A NAME THAT SPELLS CONFIDENCE"
We would be at top in an years time ............................ Joys ..............................
