difficult accessenergy cost
The check-in process? Oh, it was easy, if you consider struggling with a machine and hoping the code works smooth. And guess what? Hauling luggage up several flights of stairs was just what I needed after a long day! I almost forgot. Upon arrival, they charged an energy cost. What a joke.
