Japan 2025 - Part 16

Flying Home

 

Sunday - October 19th 2025

 

Today was time to say goodbye to Japan. We got up early and after we checked out we headed to Tokyo Station right across our hotel. From there we took the Narita Express to Tokyo Narita Airport, where we arrived about an hour later. After we returned our Ninja Wi-Fi we dropped off our luggage and once we passed the security checkpoint, we spent some time at the NOA Airport Lounge. Unfortunately the lounge was very disappointing, but at least we got some chips and drinks while waiting for departure. Before take off we spent our remaining Yen and then it was time for boarding. The flight back to Austria took about 15 hours and Sunday evening we arrived in Vienna with a huge surprise. As soon we got off the plane, we were told by the ground staff that the luggage of all passengers was left behind due to an unforseen change in the flight route. Therefore the plane needed more fuel and to reach our destination the luggage had to stay in Tokyo, because otherwise the plane would have been too heavy. So we left the aiport empty handed and drove back home. On the way home we stopped at Burger King for a late dinner and around midnight we made it to Salzburg. Our luggage arrived on Wednesday.
