I love Austrian Airlines...

Here are 5 reasons why I love traveling on Austrian Airlines.

1. Great food. While many airlines are downgrading meals or getting rid of them altogether, Austrian Airlines provides small snacks that are unbeatable. My flights are usually less than 1.5 hours and I always get a tasty little something. See below. It was yum. And I love the triangle boxes.
2. They always provide excellent service. For example, on the last flight, as the stewardess served the drinks she asked me if I was cold. Maybe I looked cold, and indeed, I was. So I said, 'Yes.' And without asking for it, she said she would bring me a blanket and she did within a minute. That is service.
3. They are part of the Star Alliance so I get points just like when I travel with Swiss Air.
4. The stewardesses are way stylish, even though they have what I think are the ugliest all red uniforms. Somehow they accessorize brilliantly and make it work!
5. They have modern planes, or at least ones with funny names like - The Fokker 1000. And no, I am not making that up. See below.

If you have an option, go with Austrian Airline. I have not been disappointed yet.



The Fokker 1000... Doesn't this remind you of Meet the Fokker's? :)

I alway empty my airplane food because they taste so good. I don't waste anything.

I like them too. When I flew them earlier this year, they gave out postcards with the meal and then the flight attendants mailed them for you free of charge. My grandpa was very happy with his Austrain Airlines postcard from me :)

I went to the Air and Space Museum and made the same joke about the Fokker. Only I made it about 17 times before we finally left.
