People's ViennaLine

Europe still seems to be full of small airlines operating specialist routes and offering a more personalized service than the bigger, more established airlines. People's ViennaLine offers four daily flights with one Embraer aircraft during the week between Vienna, Austria and Altenrhein in Switzerland, which is located on Lake Constance (Bodensee) near the Austrian border. Altenrhein could be said to be the airport of St. Gallen.

A recent Flyertalk article mentioned how People's ViennaLine will operate the shortest intenational flight in the world (8 minutes) between Altenrhein and Friedrichshaven, on its way to and from Cologne in Germany:

A recent trip report on the VIE-ACH flight is worth watching:

Can't get a booking to work the way I want at all. At the moment the two routes (ACH-VIE and ACH-CGN) price out at a best fare of EUR198 round trip. While prices on ACH-CGN are reasonable up to Christmas, if you book something with a return in January (or anything at all from January) the price of the outbound remains steady at EUR99, but the return goes up to EUR259 and I can't get it any lower. Is there any reason for this, or is there just a bug in their system?

The final flight of the world's shortest scheduled commercial flight between Altenrhein and Friedrichshafen will take place on 14th April. Anyone going to try and slip a run in? Don't think I'll have the time, but was just wondering. Haven't been able to get around to it so far.
