When to buy airline tickets
The lowest prices are usually between 2-4 months before departure. However, it is no exception that Austrian Airlines offers bargain airline tickets well in advance, almost a year in advance.
It is particularly worth buying such tickets on busy dates such as holidays and Christmas or to tourist destinations (seaside resorts, winter resorts).
Ticket prices
Austrian Airlines offers very favourable fares to destinations in the Middle East or to resorts in southern Europe during the peak summer season, for example.
On average, you can pay between 150 eur and 200 eur for a return ticket across Europe from virtually anywhere.
Fare classes
Austrian Airlines will offer 2 standard fare classes on short-haul flights - economy and business class. On long-haul flights, there is also a premium economy class with more legroom and 2 checked bags included.
The individual classes are then further differentiated into several groups, the so-called fare families.
Ticket prices are higher with a higher fare class. The individual benefits are shown in the table in the figure below:
