Great news for Lufthansa Group customers in the Boston area— for the very first time in Boston’s history, there will be nonstop flights to Vienna! Austrian Airlines will begin non-stop flight service from Boston to Vienna starting on March 29, 2020. Austria’s home carrier will fly a Boeing 767-300ER equipped with 211 seats on this new route. Austrian Airlines flight 92 will depart Boston Logan International Airport at 6:52pm and arrive in Vienna at 8:25am the following day. Austrian Airlines flight 91 will depart Vienna International Airport at 1:25pm and arrive in Boston at 4:30pm (all times local). Initially, Austrian will operate four weekly flights between the New England metropolis and Vienna hub, increasing to six frequencies per week as of mid-April.
With Austrian’s new gateway in Boston, Lufthansa Group’s main hub airlines, which includes Lufthansa and SWISS, are fully represented in this region. Furthermore, the new service links Boston’s many academic institutions, theater & arts communities and various hi-tech industries with Vienna (Austrian’s home market), as well as offers key connections throughout Central Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
“The U.S. market is integral to our success, and we’re excited that 2020 will bring all three of Lufthansa Group’s main hub airlines to Boston Logan with the launch of Austrian Airlines’ new service to Vienna in March,” said Frank Naeve, vice president of sales, The Americas, Lufthansa Group. “Austrian Airlines is the only airline in the world to provide the personalized service that exudes that special ‘Austrian touch.’ Bostonians will soon be able to experience Austrian’s premium onboard products, high-end culinary options and the warm, friendly hospitality for which Austria is known.”
Austrian Airlines’ Onboard Experience
Austrians’ Boeing 767-300ER aircraft has a three class configuration consisting of 25 Business Class, 18 Premium Economy Class and 167 Economy Class seats. The airline’s Business Class cabin features an elegant design with state-of-the-art seats that turn into nearly 6.5 feet-long, full flat beds. Another highlight for Business Class passengers is the airline’s unique “Flying Chef” program where regional and international gourmet delicacies are prepared on-board by professional chefs. Travelers also benefit from the insight of trained sommeliers ready to recommend wines that complement the menu during their flight. Additionally, Business Class passengers, while onboard, can savor a wide array of coffees provided through Austrian Airlines’ Original Viennese Coffee House Service. Guests can choose from ten Viennese coffee specialties by the Austrian premium coffee company, Julius Meinl.
Austrian’s Premium Economy Class provides passengers with a generous amount of legroom based on seat spacing of up to 38 inches. Additional footrests are designed to take the strain off passengers’ legs during a long flight and the central armrest, with foldout table between the seats and a personal, broad armrest for every guest, enables greater privacy and more room on the side. Furthermore, every seat is equipped with its own power outlet and USB port.
