"After travelling 76 hours through south-america, I decided to take the last 1500 km by plane. The problem was, that this hadn't been the official turn, so that I had to check in again in Sao Paulo.Ok until Now. After 6 hours waiting I went to the check in and the lady told me that I should pay 77 Reals,(about 25 Euro) in Argentina I had lost my master card, and had no money at all, and the stewardess did not want to check my stuff in. I went almost crazy, because she wasn't able to speak either spanish nor english, so she told me to go to "conny?" and conny said that she couldn't do anything and told me to go back to "debby". I spent my last 4 hours discussing with half of the TAM-crew. They didn't want me to go through. I was desperate and also asked the pilot to help me. The last 1 minutes before check-boarding time began and I still had my two backpacks with me. I did not know what to do and started to ask passengers to give me money. One man, from Paraguay, Mohammad, helped me at once and we started a marathon through the airport. I just jumped into the airplane, and promised him to name my first child MOHAMMad;) well, I will think about that.SO, for the next time, always have the "untouched money" hidden somewhere for these situations. About the sleeping situation I unfortunately can't say much^^ love bye bye, Tina from Hamburg"

"I don't really like to sleep in airports, but sometimes you have no choice. That's what happened to me last year at Sao Paulo's airport in Brazil. I had to wait there for 12 hours and the only thing I was looking for were some chairs WITHOUT armrests...Well, that was an impossible goal, because there really was not one chair without armrests. Floors were dirty, so I did not sleep a minute that awful, long night. I would say: Sao Paulo's airport is terrible for sleepers. I also didn't like it, because there were not many people that night. I counted five, so I didn't feel very safe as well. "
