Austrian business or Continental coach
« on: October 04, 2011, 08:00:37 PM »
I can either fly Austrian business from tlv-nyc for $1900 worth of miles (120000 onepass = about $1900) or coach direct on CO for $999 - any thoughts, opinions? I'd appreciate feedback on Austrian's business class - can anyone give me a report (flying tlv-nyc)?

edit: What about business on LOT? any experiences?

one and a half        it's a 3-3 config i believe, with the middle seats roped off

the service is supposed to be very nice though, even on the inter-europe flights

the vie-nyc leg is a angled flat seat, pretty standard biz class i believe.   probably nicer than delta... not as nice nice as co or the new swiss

I flew on Austrian the 777 JFK to VIE was nicer than Elal business but I got a 767 from vie to TLV all in all was very nice I personally would tell you to make a stop in Vienna on your way. It is a beautiful city. Maybe see if you could get Luftansa for the return or Swiss.

Vie: small airport, bad lounges,
Austrian airlines business: same small chicken meal all meals out of vie (breakfast+dinner), small seat on 777, old and narrow.

If you go into Vienna - Take the bus - cheap round fare direct to Jewish area.

Lounge is pretty bad, but a decent shower, I saw buses to Jewish area, but cheap?

If you book using miles, make sure you take advantage of your free one-way to go to HNL, or somewhere else a distance away.
