The good news is that Austrian still manages to get it right. By all means that’s still “airline food” at the end of the day but certainly way higher than the “average bar”, at least in Europe (both on short and medium). I regularly get hot meals on flights as short as Sarajevo/Belgrade/Pristina (lunch or dinner, rest is sandwiches, which are still pretty decent, though) and the pudding (whilst not particularly a fan of “chocolate-ish” stuff myself) is always top notch, not to mention the constant-excellent service from the crews and the reliability in terms of operations at their Vienna hub.

P.S.: here are a few pictures of a variety of meals, I had posted them a few months back.

Now that the other decent alternative (i.e. LOT) is about to “disappear” for the winter, it is somewhat heartening to know that Austrian will still operate 2 daily flights from/to this part of the world.
