Doha Airport layover. (The Blind leading the blind)

Big spenders get to exit planes in Doha on covered stairs to be whisked away in luxury cars.  Cheapskates like us disembark the back of the plane on regular stairs to be herded on to buses.

They say first impressions are what count.  Fortunately for me this is not the case.  After being blown away by our journey on Qatar Airways, we were once again blown away by the heat upon exiting the airplane on arrival to Doha airport.  The airport here has an interesting system where all planes are parked on the tarmac and the passengers are shuttled to their respective terminal by bus for poor class, and BMW for the rich.  This requires you to exit the airplane on those roll away steps.

Buses for the plebeians

Limo service for big spenders

Layover at GRU airport Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Throw in a couple chickens and you have a Bolivian bus vibe going.

 We made it! We were now on our way out of Bolivia.  I do not know if BOA (Boliviana de Aviacion) maximized seating by squashing us in or that is how 737 flights always are.  But the flight from Santa Cruz to Sao Paulo, Brazil has won my reward for most cramped international flight ever.  If there was 6 inches between my nose and the seat in front of me I would be surprised.  This is after my nose job, I can't imagine pre-op.  Having said that, the flight was less then half of the competitors fare, and for 50% off give me a blanket and a seat belt and you can strap me to the wing!
