Flight to Nowhere - For Iraqis, a visit to Jordan is a travel nightmare

This wussy whiner obviously has never been held hostage for an
hour or more inside an airliner sitting on the ramp/staging area
of an American airport.

As part of regular practice in American air-travel.

Travel in and out of Jordan is a nightmare for everyone. When you arrive at the airport for a departing flight, you have to stay in the entry hall until two hours before your flight is scheduled - no immediate check-in and no going to the gate area right away. Once you clear the security into the gate area, you can’t leave the area again - even to go to the restroom. And of course, all along the process you have to deal with a bunch of arabs who absolutely, positively do not understand the concept of standing in line and waiting their turn.
