Why Should You Choose Austrian Airlines Business Class?
Flying in business class is an opportunity to elevate your travel experience, and Austrian Airlines Business Class takes it to a whole new level. Let’s explore why:
Airport Experience
The airport experience with Austrian Airlines Business Class starts at Vienna International Airport, the airline’s main hub. The premium lane for check-in ensures a smooth start to your journey. Fast-track security lanes speed you through formalities.
Once airside, Business Class passengers have access to Schengen and non-Schengen lounges depending on their destination. Star Alliance Gold members, Miles & More top elite members, and First Class passengers on other Star Alliance flights within the same itinerary also enjoy entry into Senator Lounges.
Amenities include hot and cold food options, and extensive complimentary beverage offerings (wines, beers, spirits). You can also enjoy periodicals and workspaces with free Wi-Fi and LoungeNet. At the Business Class lounge, guests can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the apron area.
While there are no Austrian-branded lounges outside Austria, third-party lounges associated with Star Alliance partners are available. So, if you can fly with an interline partner that operates its own lounge at that port.
So regardless of where you fly from in Europe with Austrian Airlines’ Business class or short-haul product – be it Heathrow Terminal 2 or T1 in Frankfurt – you always have access to luxurious pre-flight accommodation thanks to third-party arrangements between airlines within the alliance network.
Comfortable Seats
Business Class on Austrian Airlines offers comfortable seats with a stylish appeal. The seat design’s grey and brown touches actively complement the cabin’s red and blue accents.
Austrian Airlines’ long-haul fleet (Boeing 767-300ERs and 777-200ERs) has alternating seat configurations. The seats recline into a fully flat bed. It is perfect for catching up on sleep during that long flight to Tokyo or New York. On its B777, they measure an impressive two meters in length; on its B767, 1.9m is plenty of room too.
There’s ample legroom, with 111.7cm between rows (44 inches), ensuring even taller passengers have somewhere to stretch out their legs. Seats at the bulkhead, such as 1A and 1K, offer extra legroom. Plus, they have a more spacious entryway compared with those in other rows.
Storage space for personal items includes pockets for magazines plus power outlets. They also come with USB ports so you can charge your smartphone or tablet throughout the journey.
Each passenger gets a pillow plus an all-important rolled-up duvet blanket. It will help ensure maximum comfort during long flights across multiple time zones.
Aircraft type determines the seat configuration. Austrian’s seven-strong B767 fleet features a “staggered” layout. It has one row of single middle seats on either side of the aisle. While Austrian’s eight-strong four-cabin B777 fleet alternates between one row of single middle seats beside each other and two rows sharing space together.
Solo travelers seeking privacy might prefer one of the single “A” or “K” seats; couples could opt for pairs of seats placed around each others’ footwells underneath adjacent TV monitors.
Premium options include throne-style positions aboard Austrian’s three-class B777s: these solo window-facing chairs-based beds require neighbors to clamber over them if they need to access the aisle.
Loyal elite-status frequent flyers can choose such seats free of charge, while any business class passenger can select them without an additional fee on the day of departure.
Delicious Cuisine
For those lucky enough to be traveling in Austrian Airlines Business Class, there is no shortage of beverages on offer throughout your flight.
Before take-off you can choose between Prosecco, juice or water – along with some tasty amuse-bouches from the Flying Chef. The printed menu will tell you about the inflight libations, and all wine questions are handled by sommelier-trained crewmembers.
Once airborne, galley carts come down the aisles filled with white wines, red wines, dessert wine, and sparkling options. They include Duval-Leroy Brut Réserve Champagne; Austrian beers; spirits ranging from Campari to Chivas Regal; soft drinks, juices (apple or orange) and an impressive coffee menu that includes a Julius Meinl offering.
One of the highlights of flying Austrian Airlines is what happens after your meal: ordering from their Viennese coffee menu.
A choice of delicious Julius Meinl coffees are served individually in elegant glasses or cups along with chocolates. Fancy a Wiener Eiskaffee (double espresso poured over vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream)?
Or maybe just a classic Wiener Melange (espresso blended with steamed milk and foam)? Consider it done. What better way to get into Viennese café culture than at 30,000ft?
In-Flight Entertainment
Austrian Airlines Business Class travelers have a fabulous inflight entertainment experience awaiting them. Via remote or touchscreen, the Boeing 777 and 767 fleets each sport expansive 15-inch-wide (38 cm) screens.
Including up to 400 hours of movies and sitcoms, cartoons for children of all ages, a rich music selection, and short programming such as documentaries that could suit just about any interest, the airline has tried to ensure there is something for everyone’s taste.
To help immerse passengers in their chosen audio-visual feast, noise-reducing headphones are provided at every seat.
For those who need to keep in touch while flying long-haul – Wi-Fi connectivity is available on board. Prices vary depending on how fast you want it and how long your flight lasts.
Amenity Kit
Passengers in Austrian Airlines’ Business Class can expect to have everything they need for a comfortable journey.
They will be handed an amenity kit. It includes items such as eyeshades, earplugs, lotion and lip balm, socks, and dental kits. On selected flights, this comes in a limited-edition small rucksack with a distinctive Austrian design.
Before each meal service, flight attendants offer hot towels to refresh the face – “a little touch of luxury.” In the lavatories, additional amenities like combs and stain removal wipes are available for your convenience.
Families traveling with infants can reserve seats suitable for bassinets or “baby baskets” on long-haul flights. It’s recommended that these seats are booked at the time of reservation to avoid disappointment.
Bottom Line
Indulge in an extraordinary voyage with Austrian Airlines Business Class. From the second you step on board, you’ll be lavished with opulence, relaxation, and stellar service that is truly a cut above.
To ensure an excellent flight experience, every detail is important: sprawling seats that convert into full-on beds, a continuous supply of high-end beverages, a selection of delicious gourmet food choices, amenity packs, and various fun distractions are all included in the package.
