The seats are also a bit wider, but I guess that's about it...
11:41:49 they are giving away free newspaper, but I can't read it.
There is left over lunchbox in the pocket, they probably missed that during the in flight cleanup.
11:52:26 at the supposed landing time, the flight haven't taken off yet...(the flight is only half an hour)
So there is a snack lunch.....
No one checks your ticket, so you can be flying to the wrong destination and nobody will care...
Hopefully, my flight will land in Santa Cruz.

The taxi is supposed to be ?expresso?. In Bolivia expresso probably has the same connotation as ?suicidal?. Half way of the trip, it goes into a death race with a minivan. The minivan has advantage on straight roads... but our taxi takes advantage when there is no road....
