Ljubljana to Vienna to Istanbul

After concert I had few hours to pack before leaving on this trip at 2 am. Sister drove me to main bu s staion. We waited in car for Flixbus (30€), it was late. We drove in rain to Vienna, we stopped at gas station, at long border control and in Graz. I ate one of homemade sandwiches.

Five hours later we were in city, there was traffic jam, one accident. We arrived late half an hour. From station I moved to Mitte train station with train, 2.4€. Next train to airport with direct train, CAT for 15 € in 16 minutes, we had short delay.

I had 2 hours on airport before flight to Istanbul with Turkish airlines (10:40-14:05). I paid 760 € for tickets Vienna-Istanbul-Singapore and back Hanoi-Istanbul-Vienna. After passing security I had time to relax, beer (5€) and cigarette for begining of trip.

First flight was full, A350-900, seat by window, good enough leg space, omlette, beer and movie.

At Istanbul airport some gate mess, beer 17€ didn’t buy! I had enough time to get to gate, rest and smoke cigarette before next 10 hours long flight (16:45-7:35), A350-900. Again I got window seat, again full airplane, leg space ok but big guy sat next to me and in front seat person leaned completly back. We got Lacoste amneties (socks, earplugs, eye cover, sleepers), 2 meals (dinner with meat and breakfast with omlete), nice choice of movies, but I didn’t get not much sleep.
