With direct flights from London to the airline's hub in Vienna, Austrian Airlines is a great choice for your flight to Austria, or beyond.
The airline flies from its Vienna base to more than 130 convenient and exciting destinations in 66 countries around the world, including New York, Delhi and Bangkok.
Last year, the carrier boosted its links to London, with the English capital's City airport being incorporated into its flight schedule from October 2007.
It is not only England that will enjoy an increased service from Austrian Airlines, however, as the carrier will continue to expand its network in the Middle East later this year.
In October 2008, Austrian Airlines will commence flights to Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia with three and four flights a week respectively.
Alfred Otsch, chief executive officer of Austrian Airlines, said: "In the capital Riyadh and the major port city Jeddah, we are integrating two hugely important cities in Saudi Arabia into our route network.
"By doing so, we are also increasing the volume of transfer traffic that will pass through our Vienna hub and offering the best possible connections to Central and Eastern Europe – a region becoming increasingly important for investments from the Middle East."
Austrian Airlines' domestic hub, Vienna International Airport, has an average passenger transfer time of just 25 minutes, an offering that the operator claims is unique in Europe.
It is able to offer such a low transfer time through its use of advanced infrastructure and efficient handling of incoming and outgoing aircraft.
Austrian Airlines is a member of the Star Alliance, the largest airline network in the world, which allows it to offer an even greater range of great flight destinations and cheap airfares.
The alliance includes other prestigious airlines such as Lufthansa and South African Airways and collectively serves 842 destinations in almost 152 countries around the globe.

A range of great entertainment and dining facilities are available on board Austrian Airlines flights, depending on the length and class of your flight.
This year has been an impressive one for awards, with Austrian Airlines being named Best Catering Business Class Long-Haul at the World Airline Awards 2008. The same ceremony saw the carrier also take home Best Cabin Staff in Europe and be recognised as the having the third Best Catering Economy Class Long-Haul. Capital Magazine also awarded it Best Airline of the Year 2008 in Europe.
Austrian Airlines passengers receive meals from catering company Do & Co, which provides typical local foods and Austrian specialities.
The introduction of business class has dramatically increased the amount of space available on flights, with lie-flat sleeper beds available as well as seats with two metres of legroom.
Austrian Airlines operates its flights with a very modern and efficient fleet, with an average aircraft age of only 6.2 years old, which is far below the European average.
With maintenance an extremely high priority for Austrian Airlines, the company has an exceptional safety record. Since it began jet operations in 1963, 100 million passengers have boarded a flight with the carrier and been taken to their destination safely.
