Recently upon my return from India trip, the CPB office Govindarajalu (name seems like Telugu), this person pulled me to scan the bags and asked if I had any food. I was honest to tell had lot of processed food, none of which violates US Customs mandate.

This Govindarajalu was unprofessional and showing off his power asking to name every item in the bag, told him respectfully some of the items do not have English name for example gojju. Next he asked how many INR I was carrying for which I responded under 3000 INR, next how many USD I responded $20 all these were true statements.

He could not find any items which were violating the US custom rules.

These CPB office should treat customers with dignity rather than their forceful rude power show

Comment on Emirates Boeing 777 Business Class Upgrade Bids Goodbye to Middle Seats for Couples and Families by TIRUMALESH RAMAN KOWDLAY

Emirates and Etihad fly outdated equipment between BLR and their middle east hub. Evidently discriminative treatment! Despite of having a large market share from India, both these airlines take India destination customers for granted.

We pay $$$ and still are flying in congested 7 seats per row of Business class in case of Emirates, and Etihad 321 Neo is like a budget beaten cheap private bus.

Also all the middle east airlines the Business class does not provide seat selection or lounge access, unless we are ready to book the next category of their Business class which costs $700 or more than then classic Business class pricing.

These airlines baggage handling is horrible, in their middle east hub they toss the bags like dump yard, and baggage damage policy is horrible! they may pay $50 compensation unless the bag was very recently purchased and we have receipts.

BRAVO!
What a inspirational use of your time and talents to help protect the too trusting and undereducated senior like me! Wishing you all the best as you gain recognition, like the Kelly Clarkson Show where I first saw you and she gave you the cash award. We need many more aids as we fear AI and do not know how to use it.
