Conclusion of Day 6
26/12/2009This was our last day in London. Around midday we took a taxi to LHR. When i found the Austrian Check in Gate, i couldn’t believe my eyes. There were standing about 400 people. What the fuck? No one could tell my why there was so a huge crowd. After about half an hour, the airport stuff began to form lines. Because of some canceled flights, there was such a huge crowd. An hour later, i was able to get to the check in desk. Remember: if you have already checked in via the internet, you can’t use the check in PCs there. You must go straight to the “Luggage drop off” desk. Don’t ask anyone, because no one will give you a good answer. Overall, this check in procedure was a huge mismanagement. Shame on LHR! At VIE or JFK or SBG i never had such an experience. Our flight was delayed about 40 minutes, but that was not a big problem for us. The flight itself was smooth as always. Back at VIE, the weather was shit and the taxi driver was a dumb ass. Welcome home!
Overall this trip was nice. London is a great city, with very nice houses (and cars, oh my gosh, i can’t tell you how often is saw the new Porsche or Bugatti or something else. It’s indeed the city of money) and very friendly people. Not once i had a problem with a taxi drive or anyone else. I also felt very secured. I can imagine to life in London. It’s not so other than Vienna, and much smoother than NYC, even if my heart was lost in NYC.
