Feb 19, 2019 at 7:03 comment added Oscar Bravo @reirab The guard wasn't an airport employee, he was a regular soldier drafted in to man a checkpoint some distance outside the airport. There had been some incident previously and the govt. had decided to put a Ring of Steel around the airport... The point is that there can often be circumstances where your documents will be checked by someone who is not really all that qualified but who is rather powerful. You don't want to find your papers are not in order...
Feb 18, 2019 at 20:20 comment added reirab @OscarBravo That's crazy. Sounds like he must have been a new guard (or maybe hoping for a bribe?) A guard admitting people to an airport at 2200 should be completely accustomed to departures being early on the following day... Indeed many, if not most of them probably should be at that time of day.

Feb 18, 2019 at 10:18 comment added Oscar Bravo This is a good point. My brother had a flight out of New Dehli leaving at 01:00h on a particular date. He was stopped at an army checkpoint outside the airport at about 22:00h. The soldier just looked at the date on the ticket and told him, "you are a day early - come back tomorrow". Since the guy had a machine-gun and didn't like to be contradicted, it took my brother a while to convince him that flights can leave quite early in the morning and that he really had to be let through "the day before".
