Vienna to Tokyo on Austrian Airlines

November 22, 2012 (Thursday) Vienna - Tokyo

We decided to get up early so we could walk down to the riverbank before leaving Vienna for our 1:15 flight to Tokyo. Breakfast at the Park Inn was perfect. They had a lot of selections and food was delicious, especially the croissants. Those were the best croissants I have ever had, even better than the fresly baked ones on MSC.

The walk down to the river was closer than I expected. It was a really nice walk with the part of the city that was just waking up. I was prepared with my sweater and scarf back on to keep warm.

Breakfast was served before landing at Narita Airport. This was a really comfortable flight with great service from the flight attendants. Austrian Airlines turned out to be one of our favorite airlines now. I am impressed!

It was a brief visit to Vienna but a memorable one. Just because of the connecting flight, we were able to spend a few hours in this beautiful city. One of these days we shall come back and spend more time seeing all the things that we ought to see. One of these days...
