Austrian Airlines Trip Report flying from Vienna to London Heathrow, in Business Class, onboard one of the already rare Austrian A321s, on a beautiful late-spring afternoon.
A very comfortable flight on the Austrian Business Class onboard the Airbus A321 from Cairo to Vienna. However, the experience wasn’t so good at Cairo Airport. What a messy airport! OMG! It’s incredible how inefficient it is in almost every aspect. Not to mention how old and outdated terminal 3 looks. Sadly, an airport to avoid in the future.
We took off from Cairo towards the southwest and quickly made a right turn to start our route to Vienna. We overflew the city of Cairo, enjoying some truly amazing views of it despite the smog cap that was covering it. We made the 180° turn over the Nile so the landscape was just perfect.
We then flew over Egypt until reaching the Mediterranean, flying in course to the Turkish southern coast. Some summer storms were already developing so we had to avoid them. From there we flew towards Greece and Bulgaria. From there Serbia, Hungary and, finally Austria, landing in Vienna just on time.
About the onboard service on the Austrian Business Class in this medium-haul flight, I must say that I was extremely surprised. It was a magnific menu. One of the best I’ve ever had on a plane (if not the best). A creamy salad was the starter, followed by one of two options, in my case a typical Austrian veal dish. Some kind of pepper cream with a 3-phased bread made the perfect side. When I thought nothing could improve that… the dessert was served. Oh-My-God! The best dessert I had on a plane and near to the best out of a plane as well: a hazelnut cake with hot chocolate and cream. Just perfect.
All in all, a fantastic, marvelous, perfect experience onboard the Austrian Medium-Haul business class. After the onboard service, I completely forgot about the poor experience at Cairo airport Terminal 2. This flight was worth every single euro!
Now it’s your turn! Have you ever flown with Austrian Airlines? How was your experience? Which route and airplane model? Have you ever flown in business class? Do you think it’s worth the money? Have you been in Cairo? Maybe in Vienna? What do you think about the menu?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!

11:58 Una delicia que se ve el Catering Service y el postre, ni se diga 👌🏻
Ojalá y Austrian incorpore sus A321Neo le quedarían muy bien ✈️.
Saludos hermano!!
el asunto es que el título del video es el 10° A321 más viejo del mundo, en tú opinión, funciona o no?
Saludos de República Dominicana 🇩🇴 Cuando volara en el B737-8 MAX de la aerolínea Arajet Dominicana
Very good video! Thank you.
Hello @onboard , I just want to inform you that if you could one day upload a video of a flight that uses the B737-200, I know of a route and it is through Canada, the airline is called Air Nuit. :))
I was an rampy. And we called this „steering pin“ not bypass pin…
I Miss The Real Business Class Seat On Short Haul And Inside Europe.Great Trip Report,I Have See Worst Lounges.Great Trip Report
Very nice trip report.
All the sand over the horizon at Cairo airport is something different to see.
Vienna airport seems to be an important hub for your travels.
Excellent trip report, keep it up !!!! 👍👍
Great video 😎
Como siempre ustedes mostrando bellas imagenes y lo mejor de lo mejor 👍👍🤝✈🛬💖🇨🇴🇨🇴❤😊😊 nunca me piredo los mejores videos de ustedes 👍
The last time I flew out of CAI, Egyptair operated out of two very unfortunate terminals. You are living the dream in the new ones! At 18:51 you can see the (docked) hydrofoil from Bratislava up the Danube to Vienna – the most pleasant way to travel between the two cities and not much more costly than a bus
The man at 6:25 is showling all wheels clear safe to go good flight. (I think)
Sorprendido por Austrian, muy buen video 👍👍
When do you come to Latin American countries to see the airports and airlines in the region? In El Salvador we have one of the Avianca hubs 😊
¿Cuando vienes a los países de latinoamérica a conocer los aeropuertos y aerolíneas de la región? En El Salvador tenemos uno de los hubs de Avianca 😊
By any chance are you austrian? i know the videos are spanish and english but you fly a lot out or to vienna
the reason is for no acholoel in the lounge is because egypt is a muslim country and it is prohibited to drink acholoel in islam
Me gustan mucho sus videos un saludo desde Sevilla España 🎸🎸
You did not order a second meal?
I do like astrain and one thing how did get to cario fast before that flight
One thing about astrain is it comformtable in those airlines
Some of Austrian's planes really are quite old, but they are always so clean and modern looking inside! They truly know how to take care of them. I've loved my every flight with Austrian very much so far
Cairo airport looks nicer than some latinamerican ones
The food looked the best I've seen in videos like this – I could almost taste it. Great report.
Cairo airport is really dated, like it needs a BIG renovation. The views on the flight were really good, specially for what the clouds look like.
wow, I never miss an upload. Austrian should get some a321 NEO. When will you fly on a TUI dreamliner?
6:33 Bypasspin, when the pin is inserted, only the pushback operator has control of the front gear, when the pin is out, the pilot has the control, before the departure pilots need to make sure that the pin is out, that is why the mechanic showed the pin.
