There's your reason right there. You can take a communist out of
communism, but you can never take the communism out of a communist.

Also keep in mind that the concept of "customer service" is pretty
much unheard of outside the US. It has recently been introduced in
some parts of Western Europe such as UK, France, and Germany, but they
are still having noticeable trouble with it. Europeans have been
killing each other for thousands of years, they're not going to start
having a "how may I be of service to you" attitude overnight.

Your arse was introduced recently. However, I was horrified that someone had
to stand 75 minutes in the check-in queue. 75 MINUTES!!!! That's horrendous.
How can anyone stand standing 75 MINUTES in queue is a mystery to me. I
would file a full report to the Polish government, the Commission of the EU,
the Russian military and naturally the UN general assembly. I am certain
human rights have been violated in most vicious ways. It must have been
nothíng but most evil act of torture. 75 MINUTES!!?

No experience with LOT but speaking of post-communism I had pretty good
experience with Tarom (Romanian). I mean the airline itself. Bucharest
airport was a big pit when I was there. But we had gone in with open
eyes to save several hundred dollars on two Chicago-India tickets, and
were armed with reading material etc.

: - 75 min long line to just check in in O'Hare.

I don't know why people insist on standing in long check-in lines. If I
have an assigned seat and don't have any special points to haggle over,
I just wait comfortably in a couch until the line is short. I still
leave by the same flight in the same seat. Works everytime.


: - 1 hour long security check line in Warsaw. Rude and very invasive
: search, too.
: - Even though tickets were purchased 3 months in advance, seating

: each other as possible (my mistake for not checking it before we

: - Weather-unrelated delays on both trans-Atlantic flights (1 and 2.5
: hours; "some kind of engine trouble" (!)).
: - The luggage was not transferred at all on trip forward and
: one suitcase was transferred to a wrong flight on trip back.
: - Without exception, stewardesses keep talking to every passenger
: in Polish - even after learning that the passenger does not speak
: Polish.
: - Food is given in liliputian amounts and has no taste.
: - The other flight services are unexistent. Pressing stewardess call

BIG MISTAKE.

You've been watching a final episode of:

WARLORDS: Roosevelt v Stalin:
Final episode of the major four-part history series that reveals an epic
untold story of the Second World War: the inside story of the private
psychological war waged by the four great 20th-century warlords: Churchill,
Hitler, Roosevelt and Stalin; told through their own contemporaneous words
and the words of those who observed them at the time. While their nations
fought a war of weapons, the warlords fought a war of the mind in which
they lied, schemed, charmed, flattered and cheated to win. These
psychological duels decided the strategy for the greatest battles in
history. They were also the epicentre of a seismic shift in world power,
from the age of European empires to the age of two ideologically opposed
superpowers, with devastating consequences for hundreds of millions of
people. Roosevelt v Stalin reveals the American President's enormous gamble
in deciding to give Stalin everything he wanted in the hope that the Soviet
leader would collaborate with him to create a world of peaceful and free
nations; a gamble that went disastrously wrong.
