Austrian Airlines Business Class

Airline overview

Austrian Airlines brings Viennese hospitality to the sky. The DO&CO catering — famous for Wiener Schnitzel and Apfelstrudel — makes Austrian one of the best dining experiences in European business class.

The business class experience

Austrian Business Class features Lie-flat staggered (777). 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 15.4-inch touchscreen. Dining on Austrian Airlines: Austrian cuisine, Wiener Schnitzel, Viennese coffee and strudel. 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 outstanding — real Wiener Schnitzel and strudel. Viennese coffee service is charming. Vienna hub connects well to Eastern Europe and Asia. Great Lufthansa Group integration.”
