I counted 50 of these porters hanging around. They are so pointless to have. I think I saw maybe 10 working the others sitting around doing nothing. I hate how they are demanding.
They will run to your car & even if you are arriving & pushing your cart from the bagge to the car they will shadow you. Then when you reach your car & open the trunk he jumps out & decides to help. Like wtf dont you ask? & where were you when I got the bags?
Who is makinq money from them being here?
I say they should be working in other places rather hang out at the airport….
we don’t need the crowd…..!!!
Are you kidding? They’re the best thing about Kuwait airport. The last thing I want to do after a long flight is pull my bags off the luggage rack. It’s nice to call over a porter and have him do it for me. And they don’t ask for much – a couple of KD is well worth the trouble.
Very irritating! Even worse, they negotiate the tip with you!
I’ll agree with McArabian that the service is nice when you need/want it, but there are quite a few shady ones. They can tell by looking at me that I don’t want/need help with my *one* bag (b/c, you know… I growl.). So one might following me all the way to my vehicle, far enough behind that I don’t notice him, and wait for me to open the hatch on the SUV to try and reach for my luggage. It’s nice to have the service available but the “shadowing” I could do with out…
