Your airport sucks!

Well if you arrived yesterday (Saturday) then you certainly have a point.
We cleared Immigration in about 20 minutes but when it came to getting our bags it was a nightmare. We flew down on Alaska and shortly afterwards a United flight arrived.
Unloading the Alaska flight baggage was an exercise in how not to. It appeared they only had two carts which they would load then unload at the Terminal and then go back to the aircraft to refill the carts or sometime on half fill them and return them to the Terminal.
They had two separate baggage pick up lines - one for Alaska and the other for United. There came a time when they shut down the Alaska belt and announced that there was no more luggage even though we could see them still unloading the Alaska flight and at least 70+ of us were still waiting for our bags.
Then to add to the confusion they started sending Alaska luggage onto the United belt.
Once we finally got our luggage we had to line up to have our baggage scanned and that was much too long and frustrating especially when the scanner operator left his position to help inspect someone's luggage while we cooled our heels untill he returned.
Then when it came time to push the red/green light we were questioned at length as to where we were going, how long we were staying,how much money etc. etc. All that information had already been provided on the declerations we had already filled out and submitted.
A Gong Show is the only family term I could attribute to this airport fiasco. Two hours was not an exaggeration either.

As La Patrona opined later as we were imbibing in a few margaritas at the Catalina's Sunset Bar that in the 21 years we've been coming here, that was the absolutely worst experience we've ever encountered at the Zihuatanejo airport.
Roberto!
PS
Sorry for any spelling mistakes but tough to do on a tablet.

I’m really sorry to hear about your and Craig’s and everyone else’s terrible experience. You certainly aren’t being treated with the courtesy, professionalism and respect you deserve. Maybe I can bring this to someone’s attention who can remedy this. Thanks for letting me know.

Saludos y bienvenidos, tocayo.
