Jet setting...
or shall I rather speak of jet SITTING?!
First of all, it's not tooo bad to get up at 4 am. You can see the complete sunrise... and I really mean THE COMPLETE: from total darkness to bright sunshine - the whole program.
Secondly, why are there only business MEN on a 6 am flight from Graz to Frankfurt? Where are all the tough girls??? No important business to do in Frankfurt?
Thirdly, a lounge (or sth. similar) where you can sit quietly and work a bit trying to bridge 5h of time is not open that early on Frankfurt Airport. And actually, if you are not flying business class, there is no such lounge for you - mostly because they have a lot of construction and rebuilding going on.
Well, a nice lady sent me to Sheraton Hotel near the airport - it has a HUGE lounge (with Café au lait for only 4 € - a bargain, I tell you!!!) and many more business MEN again. I kept to my Café au lait for most of the 5 hours... and then found a way more interesting place, while looking for food: a rest area near the supposedly 300 meter long queue in front of the Condor check-in.
Exciting, I can tell you!!! You see married couples getting divorced there because he finds it unnessesary to wait in line and she hates to jump the queue or they are discussing who is to blame for being so late. Big fight!
You also see people smiling and joking while passing the queue not realizing it's THEIR OWN for check-in. 3 minutes later you see them come back - not smiling anymore. You see people come to the end of the queue with horror in their eyes... "But I didn't want to wait for a week!!!!"
That's how a holiday can start, I guess. And I'm just sitting and waiting and watching and hoping it will soon be 2 pm for the meeting I came to Frankfurt for to start.
