The ground attendant was friendly towards me, but made a controversial joke to me in reference to two Asian ladies to my left who were denied to board due to the fact that they did not obtain an E-Visa for South Korea, while according to them were just staying transit and would continue in Seoul with a different airline on a different itinerary.Īfter dropping off my bag, I proceeded to the security which was quite a breeze and took not more than a few minutes to clear. Luckily enough with 3.5 hours to kill, the check-in counters of Air France-KLM were already open and I could drop off my luggage as soon as possible. Given the importance of my return home due to a mandatory meeting on saturday morning at 8 am, I found the tickets of KLM quite expensive as they were going to charge me 350 EUR for a flight of 30 minutes, so I made an exception and used my miles (4.500 + Tax of 38 EUR) for work to buy me on the 18.40 flight.ĭusseldorf's airport terminal on landside gives a pleasant atmosphere unlike most German airports, but has some minor flaws too. Spoken to my operations and knowing the fact that I had to be home on friday eve the latest, I decided to book myself on a KLM flight which my company will fully refund, so I needed to proceed back to the terminal via Dusseldorf's skytrain and wait a few hours to catch my flight.

Finished quite early, I proceeded myself to Dusseldorf Airport's trainstation to catch a trainride back to home (which takes about 2.5 hours in total), only to find out that all train connections to the Netherlands were stopped due to an interruption on both the Venlo & Emmerich crossing and that the earliest option to catch a trainride home would be around 10 pm. After a short diversion with my employee due to weather, I finished my duty for the day in Dusseldorf Airport and was told my operations to proceed home and charge it to their account.
