speak to customer service desk instead of usingKiosks atthe airport.

For those who would like to know what to do. I have spoken to Dr. Maurer 
personally and he is taking care of the situation and to wait until it is 
given what to do and whom to speak to.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
