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.
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.
Are trekking poles allowed at Vienna airport or, if it depends on the airline, which ones allow you to take them on board in your hand luggage. If they deal with metal spikes, will rubber caps on the metal spikes help? Thank you for your reply
