We made an city trip to Rome at easter weekend 2005. The amount was about 66 Euro without taxes. In the early morning
we went to the airport. After check-in we spent the time until our departure in the Senator lounge. Boarding for flight Austrian 505
was at gate C62. Luckily we got an upgrade into business class. Aircraft was an Boeing 737-7Z9 OE-LNO. Takeoff was at
Runway 29 on time. The flyingtime was aprox. 2 hours. Landing in Rome was at runway 16L.

We spent the following 2 days in Rome. In fact of the easter weekend the were not some many people as we thought.
After reaching the city of Rome we made our way to Piazza San Pietro and the Capella Sistina. Then we continued to Fontana
di Trevi which was very nice. Out hotel - Hotel delle Nazioni - was also located ner the fountain. The next stop was Piazza
Navone, the Pantheon and in the late afternoone the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II. The next morning we
walked to the Colosseo, which was very impressive. Unfortunately it started raining in the afternoon so we returned earlier
to Fiumicino airport. We spent the last hours in an very comfortable lounge at the airport.

In the evening we returned to Vienna onboard Austrian 504 (Boeing 737-7Z9 OE-LNO).
