A Good Flight on Condor and a Currency Ripoff at the Frankfurt Airport Starbucks

Jace proved to be a good flyer on our pleasant, although bumpy, SEA-FRA flight on a Condor A330.

The food was okay, the seats are okay, and the flight attendants are friendly.

Jace got to experience a bus gate on landing, and a long walk to get to the right train tracks.

We stopped at a Starbucks and Brian only noticed after paying with a credit card that he’d been sucked into the Dynamic Currency Conversion scam, paying a 3% markup for the privilege of paying in U.S. dollars.

A good reminder for the remainder of the trip.

This should be about $24.17 US at current exchange rates.

Two train rides and a taxi later, we’ve reached the Hilton in Heidelberg.

We have time to visit the Executive Lounge.

We eat in the hotel’s restaurant, where Jace dines on Wienerschnitzel.

A good night’s sleep follows and we’re ready to start Monday morning.
