I know I cannot compete with most folks around here as Vienna is simply a stupid place to be right now if you're into south-east Asian aviation. To keep my motivation with uni up, I thought of making a spontaneous trip to Spain because I've never been there and Spain is after Greece and Turkey one of the standard holiday destinations for Austrians.
Luckily, SWISS had some great offers this winter season that let me fly on Business class without actually paying that much. So basically I had to buy the tickets for me and a friend of mine and enjoy a glimpse of the "high life" everybody around here is talking about and posting pictures of. Champaign, lounges, good service and last but not least traveling somewhere new.
So, on 27/12 my journey finally began ....
We arrived at the airport early in the morning to breakfast before getting on our flight and surprisingly VIE was quite empty and christmas decoration was still up.
After checking in, we had to check out our local lounge (OS Business Lounge situatied between the two terminals) and to our surprise, the lounge looked clean, spaceous, not crowded and had a good selection of food and drinks.
We had some Do&Co breakfast at the lounge: they had grilled tomatos and scrambled egg. The drinking stared off with a cup of darjeeling tea with lemon. Unfortunately i caught a nasty cold a day prior to our departure.
This is me at the lounge:

The corridor between the reading- and the chill-out lounge:
