Re: Which airline do you prefer
The airport staff is not Emirates staff. Mostly the Emirates staff is foreign or you encounter Indians at the boarding gate when they check your passport, boarding pass etc. I’ve no complaints from them so far.
Yes the dubai airport staff is lazy and biased towards brown color. When I went to their immigration for the first time, they were serving white people in seconds, passport scan and go. When my turn came the immigration guy took 15 minutes to clear me. Behind me were all south Asians so he was in no hurry. He talked to his colleagues scanned my passport and took my eye scanning picture 3 or 4 times.
Then he asked for my name, I told him. But he asked again, No tell me your full name, I told him the same again. After some minutes of pushing his fingers on the keyboard, he asked me again for my full name. This was too much, what full name he is asking from me. Then I told him that this is my first name, and this is my last name. I do not have any middle name. This is my full name, I have no other alias, nick name etc.
Again he spent some minutes on computer and asked me, what is your grandfather name? I was dumbstruck, what sort of idi*t he is asking my grandfather name. His name is not even on passport then I told him my fathers’ name. Finally he stamped my passport and I went to get my luggage.
