We’ve flown with Austrian Airlines and have reviewed their long-haul Business Class and Premium Economy flights. Trip reports can be found below.
Austrian Airlines has brilliant food (best in the skies in Business Class) and a small fleet of 5 Boeing 777 (and 6 Boeing 767), which have recently been retrofitted. The new Austrian Business class is trendy with a red-blue-white color scheme and dark grey seat covers. It feels more luxury as compared to the design aboard its Lufthansa Group sister company Swiss. If you have a choice, fly Austrian, not Swiss: although Swiss still has the reputation of being Europe’s best airline, it is now outclassed (in almost every aspect) by Austrian airlines.
Austrian Airlines does not feature in our top 10 list of best Business Class airlines but still offers an excellent Business Class product.
Below you will find our most recent flight reviews on Austrian Airlines in Business Class and Premium Economy – you can draw your own conclusions.
Austrian Airlines Business Class Flight Reviews
Flight Review: Austrian Airlines B777 Business Class Colombo to Vienna
In this trip report, we review the Business Class on Austrian Airlines Boeing 777-200ER in March 2018. This 10-hour flight was from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) in Sri Lanka to Vienna International Airport (VIE) in Austria. In the winter months, Austria Airlines (part of the Lufthansa Group) only operates one flight per week to/from Sri Lanka. We have reviewed a number of Austrian Airlines Business Class flights.
