    The whole thing is an advertisement on a baggage carousel in Austria for a company called Commend that offers intercom systems.

    Salzburg airport’s website has no mention of a special desk for those trying to reach Australia. If there were 100 errors per year, that would be 1 every 3 days, providing limited need for a desk.

      I think they ment a counter like 1…2…3… Not a counter you approach that seats an employee.

    I don’t know if this is true, but it does make me feel better!

      It’s not true, I saw a different meme on it the other day and looked it up. This came about because some company made an advertisement at Salzburg Airport that looked kind of like a help desk tag for someone that mistakingly flew to Austria instead.

      The giveaway here is that it’s Salzburg, not Vienna. International flyers into Austria are almost universally going to end up in Vienna by default. Vienna’s airport sees ~20x the annual passenger count.

        Paywall. Isn’t stupid for an article like this? It’s a curiosity that attracts many people from the world. That page is designed to just be ad-supported. Nobody living outside Austria would ever subscribe to “the local - Austria” just because it’s curious about a meme/ad.

        Why even bother writing that article if nobody can read it

    Mangers daughter and a friend of hers where about to go for season work in Australia and do a bit of travel around and found a very cheap ticket to Sidney, bought it and went off.

    Sidney, Canada…

    You fly to cities/airports, not countries. There’s no way people are screwing that up.

      How would you even get on a plane without a corresponding ticket?

        You would buy a ticket to Austria not realizing it was the wrong place. I have a very, very stupid cousin who did exactly that.

    I once almost accidentally flew to Puerto Rico rather than my city on the way back from a Thanksgiving trip because they unexpectedly delayed the flight and switched the gates

    In Austria they have these nifty stickers that they sell to tourists: “Warning! No kangaroos in Austria”

    You have a bad day when you fly to Austria, but your bags are going to Australia.

    … Guess I’m Austrian now.

    It’s a step up from everybody thinking I’m from New York for some reason.
