If you stay in the Austrian business lounge until 22:00, you will be sent to the senator lounge (because they are closing). And there you'll find they have the same thing.
I'm tuning to see if I can catch the train to the Czech Republic from the main station.
1) if the train from the airport to the main station warns of a "peak travel journey" with a seat-only boarding guarantee, how realistic is that? They won't let you board without a seat ticket, or how do they handle it?
2) when do I first find out where the plane (Wizz) will be "parked" upon arrival? So I can estimate the travel time down to the train station downtown.
Hi, Karl,
1) The ticket guarantees you a ride, but not a seat, unless you pay €3 for it. So you can always get on the train, it's just possible there won't be a seat.
2) At first, only when the plane stops. There is no way to predict this in advance.
Hello, we are flying with Qatar Airways Vienna-Doha-Colombo. Do you know if we can use the self-check in kiosks at Vienna airport or do we have to go to the counter (we will have suitcases)? Alternatively, when do the counters open that way, 2 or more hours before departure? Thanks a lot. We've never flown this far before.
