First there was expected security line, where I got the full pat down. Next was the passport check, where the automated reader wouldn't read my passport, so I had to wait in the manual check line. Last and certainly not least was the Covid-document check line, which was a complete disaster. Multiple lines that didn't move at all for ages, then once they started moving not enough staff to man all of the lines, and passengers who hadn't read the instructions and were sent back to who knows where.
At my gate, the sole water fountain was out of order, so I had to spend 3.50€ on a plastic bottle of water. The flight back to California was long but uneventful, and I took this cool picture somewhere over Baffin Bay.
