For a lot of last year a lot of the talk in Austria was about the purchase of Lauda Air by AUA. Niki Lauda got very irate about it all but eventually Lauda Air became part of Austrian Airlines. Still aside from who owns what and how much of what, Austrian Airlines is the national Airline of Austria.

They operate a lot of routes from Vienna Schwechat airport, and has alliances with Swiss Air, Lufthansa, Sabena and there are also various other incentives through this group called "Star Alliance". The planes are reasonably new, with the flight constantly being upgraded, and the food is also very good. I usually have flown on the evening flight to London, and has always had no problem with baggage, punctuality of the flight or anything. The hostesses are very polite, and friendly.

The flight magazine is a good read, and usually helps to pass the time, as do television programs on the overhead screens (not available on all flights). The prices are a bit higher than others but they do some good special offers, which I have used to fly to Britain before now. I recommend them, although I cannot say from experience what they are like for long distance flights.

I fly with them when I have to, but they're never my first choice.

I flew Lauda Air when I went to Austria a few years ago. It is a shame that they have merged. I thought that it was a great airline. Lets hope Austrian Airlines keeps up the same high standard of service. Great opinion.
