Just landed at JFK - on the least convenient runway. Been taxiing for 30 mins round the whole airport. It’s euro departure rush hour. - still nowhere near our terminal.

I think I’m turning into a grumpy old man when it comes to travel (turning?? They replied!)

Land 40 minutes early.. and get off the plane late. Go figure.

And yes. I stand by my comment that the trade deals being announced are largely garbage because they are so uncertain with no mechanisms for enforcement or even any idea of how to make them happen

[Richardquest @richardquest]

This from @business “key details are scant for those who have (trade deals) — including potential exemptions, investment promises and potential changes to rules of origin. For @realDonaldTrump it’s all about the headline number around 15%. Which gives an av 17% tariff - the highest since Smoot Hawley in 1930

[Richardquest @richardquest]

These trade deals: no process, no monitoring, no enforcement, no direction on how they will be implemented, etc. Frameworks are fine if there is a realistic chance that they will come to fruition. In five years time, let’s see how much of these deals have actually happened.

[Richardquest @richardquest]

So T8 immigration hall full so holding people back in corridors. Doesn’t matter the airport AGP, LHR, JFK, LIS, FCO etc govt should be embaraased they put visitors through this welcome experience?? Immigration efficacy and efficiency are not mutually exclusive.
