Airline overview

Founded in 1923, Austrian Airlines is headquartered in Austria and operates to 121+ destinations across 55 countries. The fleet is built around Boeing 777-200ER, Boeing 767-300ER and Boeing 787-9 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Austrian Airlines is a Star Alliance alliance member, which gives passengers access to lounges and booking across all partner carriers worldwide.

The business class experience

Austrian Business Class features Full-flat bed, pneumatic recline system, aisle access from nearly every seat. Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Austrian Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE. Dining on Austrian Airlines: Austrian cuisine, Wiener Schnitzel, Viennese coffee and strudel (DO&CO catering). Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Austrian HON Lounge (VIE) — Viennese café culture, strudel service. At other airports worldwide: Star Alliance partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Austrian Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“DO&CO catering is a genuine standout — real Austrian dishes done well, not the generic "European cuisine" most carriers offer. Viennese coffee service is a nice touch. Vienna hub connects efficiently to Eastern Europe and onward Asia routing. Solid Lufthansa Group Star Alliance integration.”
