King Abdullah Goes Shopping in New York

THE AUSTRALIAN: AFTER two months in Manhattan, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia faced a problem that frequently troubles travellers leaving the Big Apple.

Like many before him, who promise themselves one nice pair of socks in a little brown bag from Bloomingdales and leave with suitcases bulging, the King seemed to have more luggage than he had arrived with.

Reports from JFK airport in New York last week suggest that at least 12 luggage buggies were required to transport his cases onto three aircraft. >>> Will Pavia | The Times | Wednesday, January 26, 2011
