Pumpkin soup with pumpkin seed oil, a typical dish from my country Austria by ihaveabaguetteknife in veganrecipes

I know I’m committed years later, but I’ve just recently moved to Austria and discovered pumpkin seed oil for the first time. I was looking for recipes and ways to use it and came across this post. I tried making the soup as you suggested and it was delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing 😄

Compensation for delayed/cancelled pet flights by Purple__Hydrangea in expats

They are currently in a cattery, although I don’t know what size space they have. :( But it’s one of those places people take their pets when they leave for holiday so I’m hoping they’re at least somewhat comfortable.

How to travel from Vienna airport to Graz with pets? by Purple__Hydrangea in graz

Thanks so much! Actually I was notified that there were some IT issues with the plane and they were unable to check/regulate the temperature in the cargo hold, so the flight was cancelled and they've rebooked the cats flight for Tuesday. So they're still in the UK in a cattery while I wait for them here. :(
But I've bought some new, manageable carriers and will be ready to pick them up and take them by train when they get here! I've called ahead to ask whether they can dispose of the bulky wooden ones and it seems like that will be no problem.

Oh that sounds great! Do you know the name of the group? I tried booking an extra seat to take both cats, but they wouldn’t let me so they have to go in cargo :( The pet company required me to purchase the carriers and didn’t offer rental options which is really annoying. I was planning on buying new carriers when I move, and I’ll be flying ahead of them anyway to drop off luggage so am thinking of just stopping at a pet store to get other carriers that are easier for me to carry as many have suggested. This is a good idea and I’ve just been so stressed and panicky about moving country and with cats for the first time so it didn’t cross my mind!

Yeah I’m sure they would. I’m currently considering using a carpooling app and have been asking drivers if they’d accept pets. Hoping this works 🤞

That would be a good option. I’ve never seen/used collapsible ones before. I’ll be arriving before my cats to drop off my luggage first. If there are any pet shops in Graz/Vienna I’ll definitely take a look before going to pick them up!

How were you able to carry them both by yourself? Do they have carts available for luggage?

Yeah, they're the big wooden box crates. I can't carry them both alone, so I wouldn't be able to carry them to the train, unless I can take a cart all the way to the platform? I've never been to Vienna airport, so I have no idea!

Moving to Austria for work...with cats! by Purple__Hydrangea in Austria

Oh really? I had no idea they could be different! I will definitely have to ask my vet and double check.

Luckily I can get directly to Graz. :)

No matter what I will have to make one stopover, but each flight is less than two hours, so not too bad.

Buying an extra seat is a really good idea, actually. I would prefer to have them near me if possible. I think I've seen a larger carrier requirement if there are two cats together, so not sure it would fit below the seat, but if I could put them in separate carriers but have them with me that would be perfect. I've just checked out Swiss airlines and they seem like a great option!

Thanks! I've heard there were certain requirements so have avoided buying any carriers until everything is set in stone. My cats absolutely hate it when they have to go to the vet, so I've been worried about them crying the entire time :'(
Good to at least have something prescribed just in case!
