by Lufthansa Flyer | Mar 17, 2015 | Austrian, Business Class, Fare Sale, Featured |
It’s not often that you see AUSTRIAN come through with a Business Class fare sale for their fantastic product but when they do, its something to take advantage of!
The fare sale covers travel between their USA gateways and a variety of destinations throughout Austria and is valid for travel between June 26 and September 3rd. This makes it an extremely attractive deal since it covers the peak travel season in Europe.
You can use this fare to get you to Austria and from there plan additional travel throughout Europe since airfares are typically low between European cities.
Fares from New York JFK and Newark are in the low $3000 range, while travel from Chicago and Washington is approximately $3500.
I’ve sat in the Austrian Business Class seat many times and it is among my very favorite when it comes to traveling between the US and Europe.
Vienna is a very easy airport to ‘manage’ and connections to other flights are about as easy as you’ll find anywhere. Its fast becoming a great alternative to other large European airports.
The fare sale is in place between now and March 30 – I suggest you try to take advantage!
