The time has come. After months of talking about my south american trip, planning, being excited and having some doubts, I am at the airport in Vienna. I can’t escape anymore, because I am almost inside of the plane 🙂 I am flying first to Madrid, where I am going to have a 5h stop over. It’s exciting, because I have never been to Madrid and I will go for a walk in the city center. Around midnight CET I should board again and fly to Buenos Aires! Yet another continent is waiting to be discovered by me. The plan is to not have a strict plan. I am going to stay some days in Buenos Aires and than head to Uruguay…
…I have to go now my dear friends. Thank you all for support and I will try give you some news as soon as I can. This is so exciting!
P.S. I managed to pack “only” 15kg backpack and I feel proud of myself – usually it’s much worse 🙂
Ciao Europe!!!
To everyone that reads this post I want to say:
– I was almost robbed in Madrid
– Iberia is a terrible flight company
– On the flight from Madrid to Buenos Aires I watched Into the Wild movie and that marked the whole trip in South America: “Happiness only real when shared” 🙂
Can you write a little bit more about your experience with Iberia, In couple of months I am flying with Iberia to USA. thanks
Hey! In general, the seats were very small, it was uncomfortable to fly for long time. There was no screen on the seat in front to watch a movie. Bring a book or a computer. The food was average. On my way back, the flight was a bit delayed so I missed the connection flight, but they gave me a food voucher and I could call my mom that I’ll be 6 hours late. That was a good service. But I’ve seen better for the same price, e.g. Emirates.
Hi, thanks, For the price I paid I don’t have big expectations.
PS: it takes guts to compare to Emirates to Iberia : )
Haha! I know, I don’t want to compare. Actually, I had a same talk with my friends yesterday, so that’s why it came to my mind. Iberia is an average company, but I did several overseas flights with KLM and Emirates (3x) so Iberia just surprised me. But maybe it’s another player 🙂 Safe flight!!
