As per usual, chief researcher Marilyn Terrell has led IT to yet another interesting locale and offers an alternative antidote to jet lag:
If you happen to be waiting around in the Vienna airport for a connecting flight and you don't have time to take the cool 16-minute nonstop City Airport Train into town, and it's 9 a.m. Austrian time and 3 a.m. your time, and you want to reset your internal clock as quickly as possible, here's a convenient place to sit in the sun and soak up those jet-lag-reducing rays.
Exit the airport terminal, where smoking is inexplicably allowed (but only in restaurants and bathrooms) and walk across the street past the parking garage to the Vienna International Airport Office Park.
In front, there's a sunny plaza with tables and chairs belonging to the curiously named chillout@lounge. Order a caffeine-filled coffee mélange (with hot milk), which comes on its own little ceramic tray with an oddly tilted glass of water and a square of yummy chocolate (more caffeine). It's sheltered from the wind and there's nothing to block the sun, provided it's shining, so you can bask 'til it's time to board your flight. Worked for me!
