Business Class on Austrian Airlines
 

Hi,

can anybody tell me their experiences (good or bad) of Austrian Airlines business class. I have loads of FF miles to spend from my BD card and spending them with Austrian Airlines is significantly cheaper than some of the other partners. So where's the catch?

Long haul or short Mr Elvin. On long haul they are as good if not better than VS in J. But without the bed obviously.

On longhauls NG is an interesting alternative. In case you're interested here is a trip report on a recent flight I did with them, as well as another recent report

Thanks Jon,
It would be long haul and I can get to Australia from Vienna for similar points to using LH from FRA to LAX

LAUDA AIR is currently 'different' from AUSTRIAN airlines. At least their products are different. If you're flying to Oz, you'll be on Lauda Air metal.

They excel in the catering department! See trip reports for Lauda's service.

I flew OS YYZ-VIE in Grand Class last year. They are not offering this service this year. I found the service (in terms of food) was excellent and the seats very comfortable. It was an a330 or a340.

Hi I flew VIEN-WASHINGTON DC last month. it was great! they have more space and bigger tv/computer screen than lh and others, service and food very good too. You will love it! shorthaul C is like always, but nice food

LAUDA AIR BUSINESS CLASS IS GROSS ON THE 767 AND 777 C CLASS IS SO CROWDED THAT YOU CAN BARELY BREATH. DON'T FLY IT GO SQ OR LH.

actually, service to Toronto resumes May 2, 3 times per week. AFAIK it is operated by Lauda. I'm booked for the May 2 flight, we'll see how it goes...

Just a reminder: There is a "Maple Leaf" promo out until July 31st 2002:

OS and NG are great airlines, Ive never had a bad flight with them. Im afraid I dont know what SQPPS is talking about. SQPPS, would you care to elaborate?
