Wednesday\u00a0newsletters<\/a>\u00a0always feature a\u00a0hotel<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0flight<\/a>\u00a0review.<\/p>\n I recently enjoyed a sunny holiday on the beautiful island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. You can read my trip reports here:<\/p>\n I recently flew Business Class with Austrian Airlines<\/a> from Vienna International Airport (VIE) in Austria to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) in Mauritius. Austria\u2019s flag carrier \u2013 a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group \u2013 operates several flights per week to\/from Mauritius in the winter months using its Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. Austrian Airlines, often shortened to Austrian, has currently a fleet of 83 aircraft, including a small wide-body fleet comprised of 6 Boeing 777 and 3 Boeing 767 aircraft. Most of these B777 & B767 planes were acquired by Lauda Air – which was later purchased by Austrian – and are quite old (with an average age of more than 20 years). These aircraft will soon be replaced by more modern B787 Dreamliner planes, which are more environmentally friendly and less costly to maintain.<\/p>\n Although its flatbed seats are not the best in the industry, Austrian Airlines had always been my favorite airline within the Lufthansa Group to fly Business Class since the carrier had by far the best soft product of any Lufthansa Group airline. An absolute highlight during any longhaul journey with Austrian Airlines was the carrier’s terrific catering from DO & CO – served by an onboard chef. Unfortunately, the concept of \u201cflying chefs\u201d was cut during the pandemic, so I was a little disappointed by the food offering during my flight to Mauritius (since it did not compare to my previous stellar experiences with the carrier). I did enjoy though the exceptionally warm service provided by the cabin crew. And the good news is that Austrian Airlines’ flying chefs are making a comeback in summer 2023 (so the carrier’s amazing food service should be fully restored by then).<\/p>\n Have you ever flown with Austrian Airlines? If so, what was your experience? Leave a comment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In this review (more information & photos below my YouTube video):<\/p>\n\n
