Airline reviews Austrian Airlines Routes & schedules

Austrian Airlines Routes and Schedules

NEWS: Austrian Airlines has axed considerable numbers of routes following the takeover by Lufthansa.

Vienna is the hub of all Austrian operations. Despite all the glowing reports of Vienna on the Austrian website, many travellers do report it feels like a bit of a mess, with a length walk from the non-schengen gates right at one end, to the International gates at the other. Signs are very poor. Lost luggage also seems to be a regular problem with Austria - it should be labeled very carefully if using Vienna.
