Horrific lineups and and waiting when I flew with them in January. I arrived at the airport 2 1/2 hours before departure but had to sprint to the gate and was among last to board. Passengers from 4 or 5 flights in one extremely long queue at their check in counter. Ridiculous. I hope they've got their act together since then.
Then arrived at Narita, where the understaffed re-entry counter kept me waiting in line for around 40 minutes, while the Japanese citizens counters were fully staffed by immigration officials who had nothing to do after 10 minutes after they let the Japanese passengers basically walk right thru.
Why are people who work at airlines and airports so stupid?
