I’m off! Standard start to the trip with an Uber to the airport. It is absolutely heaving at the moment. And then, checkin to collect the boarding passes that Austrian airlines resolutely refuse to issue and first failure of the trip there is no check-in for Eurowings!

after parading up and down the Air port for three turns I decided that I wasn’t going blind. There really wasn’t a euro wings check-in so I gave up and asked a very very helpful chap outside of the Tui check-in who suggested that they might well open behind him, we shall see.
