Austrian has conceived a whole new level of comfort and facilities for its medium haul flights and calls it Premium Service. Set for introduction on July 15 on flights to Damascus and Astana, to Cairo and Teheran by the end of July, and to Dubai, Erbil, Jeddah, Riyadh and Teheran by the end of September, Austrian’s Premium Service is an entirely new and enhanced Business Class service that brings an unprecedented level of luxury and esoteric touches to the front cabin that include:
- 24 Recaro comfort seats with foot rests, massage function and 45” pitch
- Gourmet cuisine by Vienna’s Do & Co served on fine porcelain, featuring:
o Middle Eastern style appetizers
o Elegant aperitif service and fine wines
o Enhanced selection of fruit juices and non-alcoholic beverages
