Note
Left for Canada at 7:30pm, arrived 5:00pm I just discovered time travel!!
Fuck the U.S, why is it that every other country in the world you can 'transit' except the fucken U.S. What a bunch of fuckwits and Air NZ needs some abuse too if they know what the procedure is like but still arrange flights with a 2 hour gap. Started waiting in the customs que for an hour (not moving) while asking several custom officers if we could get through somewhere due to our flight "No, you will miss it" was the standard answer, we eventually just went in the US citizens line and got through after finger printing, photos, eye scan and anal probe (might as well have been) then also instead of your bags getting transferred you need to collect and clear them as well, got our bags, and had 15 mins before flight was leaving, asked the majority of the 500 people waiting in line if it was alright to jump ahead and no one had any issues until we got to the customs officer and he said "you cut line, there is no cutting in my line go to the back" and then refused to talk to us calling up the next person (as Claire had a slight breakdown) then an old couple told the guy we were next and they wouldn't go up until he served us, fucken hell, well his supervisor got called, after trying to be a bigger asshole than the first guy, he finally gave in to Claires crying and sent us through, then we finally got some Canadians at the Air Canada desk and they rushed our bags through and then got us through all the security checks to make our flight has they were closing the doors.
By the time we got our car, sorted out finding the apartment we were staying in it was about 10pm
Advice, dont go to or through America
