Heyyy everyone,
Pre-departure? More like departure as I’m writing this in the airport. However here are some things I wish I knew before departure:
- Get to the airport even earlier because it will take Delta (specifically) forever to check me in because of the visa.
- They will probably have to override their system because the flight dates won’t be the exact same as visa dates.
- That saying they might refuse to give you an override. That’s what happened to me and imagine my confusion and stress when I know there are people from the program already in Vienna, but the delta representatives are telling me to go home and rebook for the next day, when I’m suppose to be already in Vienna that “next” day.
- If that happens ask for a different supervisor, keep asking until one finally understands how their system/visas works and gives you an override.
Anyways, first week in Vienna is looking EXCITING. No spoilers though.
