The airport in Vienna is iced over

13 Jan

And so I won’t be making it to Edinburgh today. The ice is so thick they won’t even know until 11:00 whether anything can take off from here and the one connecting flight from Frankfurt leaves at 10:55.

But Austrian does take care of their passengers as best they can and in a very Viennese way — free bottled water and Manner-Schnitten (those crunchy wafers filled with chocolate and nuts). The cart arrived at the service desk the same time I did.

    Wow, iced in??? Sorry you won’t make your trip. What were you doing in Edinburgh? And oh, I love that they offer you Manner-Schnitten!

      I did make it, just on the following day, and had a wonderful time visiting friends. That’s what I get for flying!
