Austrian Airlines Announces Flight Service From Los Angeles To Vienna

• Austrian Airlines flies from the west coast for the first time
• Up to six direct flights per week on a Boeing 777 from Los Angeles to Vienna starting April 10, 2017
• As of summer 2017: up to 44 weekly flights from North America with Austrian Airlines

Austrian Airlines will add a new long-haul destination in North America to its flight schedule in the summer of 2017. Starting on April 10, 2017, a Boeing 777 will take off to Vienna from Los Angeles, up to six times a week. 

“After Chicago, Newark and Miami, Los Angeles is now the fourth new flight destination and the so far biggest leap into the USA. We will fly to the West Coast with our existing fleet and are already very excited about this new venture,” said Austrian Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Andreas Otto. Initially, the Los Angeles-Vienna route will be served seasonally in the summer 2017 flight schedule. 

Angelenos will particularly enjoy the direct access to Vienna on the country’s home air carrier. One of the great European capitals, Vienna was the stomping ground for the Habsburg rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for centuries. The empire is long gone, but reminders have been preserved by the Viennese. Past artistic glories thrive due to the cultural legacy of the artistic geniuses nourished in this city—including Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, and Gustav Klimt. Today's visitors discover a city with a special grace and a cohesive architectural character that sets it so memorably apart from other European cities. Austria, at large, is a country that has not forgotten the elegance of a time gone by.

Those traveling from Los Angeles will also be able to easily embark on onward flights to other destinations. In fact, about two-thirds of passengers will transfer flights at the Vienna hub.

In its summer 2017 flight schedule, Austrian Airlines will offer a total of up to 44 weekly non-stop flights from North America. This will include up to five times per week from Miami, a maximum of six weekly flights from both Los Angeles and Toronto, and up to one flight a day from Washington and Chicago. Austrian Airlines will continue to offer thirteen weekly flights from New York. However, flight times from New York JFK will be adjusted as of March 27, 2017. Of the six weekly flights from New York, four of the departures will be shifted (see schedule enclosed).
