After an comfortably Check-In at Austrian Premium Check-In counter, we walked to Austrian Senator Lounge at the A-Gates.

Boarding was at gate A04. Our plane to down under was the Boeing 777-2Z9(ER) OE-LPC which has already
been painted in the new Austrian livery. With a delay of 30 minutes we were taxiing to runway 29 for departure, so
