As mentioned in the previous installment, at 9:45AM the HON Circle agent informed me that my 10:10AM flight to Frankfurt was ready for boarding. I packed up my bags and followed the signage towards the F Concourse, where my departure gate was located. That was about a 5-10 minute walk through some duty free shops.…

@Lucky- I know you usually use aero plan for star alliance awards and that they chance large fees for Austrian and Lufthansa. Assuming your Austrian to Lufthansa itinerary is on the same award do you have to pay the fees separately (sum of the 2) or is it just whatever the greater amount is?
I was on the exact same plane last month on in business from Brussels to Vienna.
Allthough it was a flight outside of diner times (5.50 p.m.), a hot scampi dish was served with a chocolate dessert to die for.
Austrian does very well at keeping your glass filled during the flight. I was drinking a gruner vetlinger (white wine) with my meal, and refills were so often that I almost polished of the entire bottle during a 1.30h flight.
I love this company !..the best experience I've had on Austrian intra-europe was on a Fokker aircraft on an all economy operated flight..
Fokkers have 2+3 seat configuration and the first three rows have an actual table on the seat next you ..when I noticed couple of days before departure that the flight wont have business class i managed to grab 1A and order http://alacarte.doco.com/ (i ordered the schnitzel and can't recommend it enough )..
I even said to the flight attendant that it's great that one can have a business class meal in economy and she replied ''oh but the meal is better than in business class , the tray is bigger '' ..and apparently its true because from the pictures I've seen recently business class meals consists of a main course and dessert.It used to be 3-course before.
YES I am totally fan of AUSTRIAN food service – On a short flight from CPH-VIE in july this summer (yes record 37.4 C in Vienna) In 1:25 flight amazing lunch similar to what you show us plus great Austrian wine and great coffee.
Amazing FA keep coming and filling up glass and coffee and yes I had 2 great coffee cups with real sahne (cream). Only missing Scandinavian newspaper since we start out from CPH and since there was n o menu card FA has to tell us in different language to everybody what she were served for lunch today. I do remember Austrian use to have menu card even on intra European flight and some other airlines still doing that.
Score 4.5 out of 5. Yes I will look forward to another great trip with Austrian.
LH has pillows and blankets but you have to ask for them. I've only ever seen them being proactively given out once in my dozens of intra-European flights with them.

That "sort of veal' is called Fleischlaberl and is usually beef similar to Fleischkloesse in Germany

I know this is an old post, so I am not sure you'll see/respond, but I'm hoping you can answer a question. With the blocked middle seat, were you able to lift the arm rests, thus allowing a wider/more comfortable seating experience? Thanks in advance!
