In my opinion, Vienna got a really nice Airport, back then and now. I could find basically everything I probably need when I’m traveling. For example, it isn’t so difficult to find a plug to change, If your devices running out of power. And you could just find a nice seat, waiting for boarding time without going to a café or a restaurant. Of course if you are hungry, there is even a food court there.”
