After leaving Prague by train, we arrived and stayed for a day at Vienna
Then, we took the train from the central station to the airport for 15min approximately and 3.90euros

Before passing the security checks, we could spot :
Dash 8 OS
Fokker 100 OS
Embraer 195 OS
A320 family OS (one A319 has a star alliance livery)
B777 OS
B777 Eva Air



The controls are fluent despite the impressive number of travellers
We were allowed to take the priority lane.

The FIDS :

bad news : our plane is an A320 and not a Embraer 195
I'm extremely disappointed because I chose this flight to try this plane


However, we were seated at the seat A or C or D or F, so we were like in Euro-Business at BA or AF

my seat like a lufthanse one
very confortable

photo img_2483

a very good pitch

The seat behind me is not so clean

OS's destinations

After landing, I tried to spot

A330 KL (which wait a new engine )
A318 RO
B737-700 RO
B737-300 RO

We leave fast the plane
The passport control isn't so fluent

    Thank you for sharing this report, PapaSierraGolf91. A pity the aircraft was changed. Were you informed why? Nevertheless you were lucky with the seating layout. You are right, terminal 3 is quite good for spotting. Unfortunately I can't say that about the other terminals, where must of the windows have an obstructed view, as seen in one of my last reports from Vienna to Paris.

    Thanks for the comment.
    I asked to one of the flight attendants the reason, she answered she didn't know ; she guessed the previous flight of the Embraer was delayed.
