Well I feel better now.
Zerush, 
You have a bad day when you fly to Austria, but your bags are going to Australia.
itsraining, In Austria they have these nifty stickers that they sell to tourists: “Warning! No kangaroos in Austria”
dru5k1, 
darcy, 
i disagree
Kodama, 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…
BonesOfTheMoon, Lolol I live in Canada. I have never heard of that. Sidney, BC, population 11,000.
EddoWagt, What do you even do in that situation, can’t really get any more opposite than that
MargotRobbie, … Guess I’m Austrian now.
It’s a step up from everybody thinking I’m from New York for some reason.
Jake_Farm, 
Who would want to go to Australia?
BonesOfTheMoon, This is a question of mine as well. It’s hot as balls.

MargotRobbie, 🥺
Hawk, I’m sorry Margot. Australia has its charms, but Austria is pure beauty.
Seudo, Mostly convicts
SuperSpruce, 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
dangblingus, Ahh yes “Salzburg, New South Wales”
UnverifiedAPK, You fly to cities/airports, not countries. There’s no way people are screwing that up.
LocustOfControl, I can’t believe that there’s never been anyone that didn’t make that mistake. Probably not enough to justify keeping a counter dedicated to it though…
BackOnMyBS, 
How would you even get on a plane without a corresponding ticket?
KredeSeraf, 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.
huge_clock, So where are you going in Australia?
“No idea mate. Figure I’ll sort it out when i get there.”
PolandIsAStateOfMind, 
At least Austrasia isn’t a thing anymore.
foxymulder, 
the territory that hasn’t existed since the middle ages?
australasia is still a term people use for the asia-pacific region that includes australia though
SnipingNinja, What?
PolandIsAStateOfMind, Austrasia. As you can see, it’s not a thing anymore.
ChaoticNeutralCzech, Police once apprehended a man at a train station in Kyjov (Kiyov), Czech Republic. He was reported to be drunk but they only found him terribly confused. Turns out, he was a Ukrainian trying to return to Kyjev (Kyiv) but a cashier in another town misunderstood and showed him the wrong train.
PolandIsAStateOfMind, As a Pole i can relate being confused by sudden exposure to Czech language.
jmcs, At least that’s the same continent and not literally on the other side of the world.
ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited ) He only had a 150km detour. You can’t blame him for thinking “Kyjov” is the Czech spelling of “Київ” as he might not even have known the alphabet.
p1mrx, Kyjov is 1000 km from Kyiv.
emptiestplace, …on a good day
ilost7489, Are you suggesting cities migrate?
ChaoticNeutralCzech, This old guy gets to Heaven, walks up to the Pearly Gates, and there’s St. Peter, checking the records
St Peter asks: “Nationality?”
-“Ruthenian”
“Place of birth?”
-“Austrian Empire”
“School?”
-Czechoslovakia
“Married in?
-“Hungary” “Children born in?”
-“Third Reich”
“Grandchildren born in?”
-“USSR”
“Died?”
-“Ukraine”
St Peter exclaims: “Well, I must say, you got around a bit!”
Little guy: “Not so much. We never left Mukachevo.”
swab148, 
Not at all! They could be carried!
Alexstarfire, It could grip it by the husk.
ChaoticNeutralCzech, He started his journey in Zlín, 75 km from Kyjov.
In fact, the detour could be less than double that. The way to get to Kyiv from Czechia is to get on a train to Przemysl, Poland near Ukrainian borders, from where wide-gauge trains to Ukraine are available. From Zlín, a trolleybus or local train will take you 15 km to Otrokovice where direct trains to Przemysl are available. From Kyjov, the easiest way to get to the Przemysl train is 45 minutes on an express to Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště.
pixeltree, Oh that’s not bad then. Like still sucks but not too far
EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, 
I’m not having a better day, but it pleases me that there are some that are.
TvanBuuren, Most wholesome comment today, thank you for your service.
o7
EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, Thanks. It’s gotten a lot better since I got home. Lol.
Let’s just say retail has a way of absolutely shattering any semblence of peace one can feel…
0xD, Maybe if your muffins weren’t encrypted you could eat them to lighten up!!
EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, Oh I can still eat them. Problem is, they can’t help but taste a little…hashy.
0xD, Hahahaha, that was great 😁
EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, Thanks. Lol. I try.
I don’t normally succeed, but I try. :)
Jakdracula, 
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.
FlyingSquid, 
Well now you ruined my day. Thanks.
PieMePlenty, I think they ment a counter like 1…2…3… Not a counter you approach that seats an employee.
someguy3, Is there a Salzburg Australia?
chemical_cutthroat, 
The people who fly into Austria don’t know that…
AnUnusualRelic, 
There’s probably dozens in the US though.
EuroNutellaMan, 
Even funnier the Vienna Hbf has Australian flags ourside and not Autrian ones
hdnsmbt, It doesn’t. (Hbf is short for Hauptbahnhof, the main station)
azimir, Could they have been EU flags? Still a field of blue with stars like the Australian flag.
txmyx, No, its true. I had too much time and used Google Street View: https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/c086a8c2-2d45-4b4c-ba20-2fb8c26798be.jpeg
EuroNutellaMan, Are you telling me they removed them? Cause tgat would be sad I laughed for about 5 minutes when I left the station and saw the Australian flag
hdnsmbt, Maybe there was some Australia-themed event when you were there but they don’t put foreign flags up as a joke. Was the Australian flag the only flag you saw?
EuroNutellaMan, no also New Zealand, Ukraine and EU.
What you’re saying truly disappoints me and I will hate the discount germans even more because of it.
hdnsmbt, Sounds like you just saw a bunch of flags and had a funny thought, no?
There are much better reasons to hate Austrians than not going for, to be honest, not that great of a joke.
EuroNutellaMan, Oh I have plenty of reasons to hate em alright but this one was personal
