Austrian Airlines enhances business class flights

British travellers heading to destinations in the Middle East and Central Asia can now take advantage of revamped business class services from Austrian Airlines.

Holidaymakers can fly to Vienna and take a connecting business class flight to Dubai, Astana, Damascus, Erbil, Jeddah, Cairo, Riyadh and Tehran featuring a host of new features as part of Austrian's Premium Service from July 15th.

These include a menu featuring delicacies from Austria and the Orient, spacious new seats and an inflight entertainment system offering more than 1,000 options to choose from.

"The strong Austrian brand and new product, combined with the top service that we offer both on the ground and onboard, will enable us to position ourselves even more strongly in this region," commented Austrian chief commercial officer Dr Andreas Bierwirth.

Earlier this year, Austrian won the top accolade in the Business Traveller magazine awards in the food and drink category.
