Corporate design

The color scheme of Austrian Airlines has always been "red-white-red." Planes with 1950-x on 80-e were silver, the upper part of the fuselage was «Austrian Airlines» white with Austrian Airlines arrow and the word (up to 1972, 1995-2003) or «Austrian» (1972-1995, with 2003 years).

The conventional Austrian Airlines arrow ("Austrian Chevron") had three variants. In 1960 it resembled a paper airplane shape, and it got its current shape in 1972. After the 1995 rebranding, Chevron was placed on the red, white and red tails of aircraft. But Chevron, after a new corporate identity change in 2003, experienced a "renaissance": the old arrow began to be used again, but with shadows and in a more modern style.

A company representative tells you in advance by telephone in the event if the flight is suddenly transferred. For me this was something new as in similar companies, I did not notice this practice. In addition, they were able to almost completely get rid of the queues at airports, and it already means a lot.

Dirt and paper under the seats, which are in such a state as if they chewed hungry passengers! The food by the way, something completely inedible, even in appearance - to take risks and try not to become. In general, more than a foot here! And still claim to be an international company.

I spent a lot of time, but could not get the company representative when I was finally able to fly. Could not such as to coordinate the work? A similar service, I did not see any one company.

Both departure took place with a slight delay, however, would like to note that the most spoiled the mood is not it, but the fact that the airport is impossible to get your luggage. I waited more than an hour.

For the first time flying these airlines. Krasnodar-Vienna-London - 20 February; London-Vienna-Krasnodar - 10 January. Service unobtrusive, but the food leaves much to be desired. Much better fed on domestic flights. When flying to Vienna, waiting between flights took about three hours - the time was left for overloading luggage and delaying the aircraft. Taking into account the fact that we managed to fly out of London for 45 minutes later, we did not manage to overload the baggage in Vienna. But the airline representatives said that the suitcase would be delivered directly to the house (the next day). Although, I was happy and the fact that we managed to change plane from plane to plane, because the prospect of hanging for an indefinite period with a small child and flying another flight did not please us. As promised, the suitcase was delivered to the house. But in my case, after its transportation, I had to throw it away. On the way to the other side: they tore off one of the pens and broke the code lock. And on the back they broke off the sliding handle and tore off the zipper in the back pocket. In this case, such damage that in principle they could not have been under any circumstances. I'm just in shock!
