May this journey begin.

I’m not exactly traveling space, but I will land this afternoon in Chi-Town O’Hare. Fingers crossed that my super-short layover in Dusseldorf is not a problem. Here some fun facts for the airport-short cut savvy and jet lag cure experts…

My flight itinerary: VIE - DUS, DUS - ORD.

Expected travel duration:  11 hours and 15 minutes.

Time zone difference: 7 hours.

Expected visits to the restroom once airborne: 2 (because with an empty bladder one can run faster) and 5 respectively.
