The Austrian Airlines menu is created in partnership with Viennese eatery DO & Co and consists of traditional meal options. A favorite among frequent fliers is the airline's Viennese Schnitzel serving that boasts a side of potatoes, fresh salad and an indulgent chocolate mousse dessert. This meal is served with a branded water bottle and three whole grain bread options.
While this in-flight Schnitzel order is not complimentary, the gourmet-inspired meal will cost travelers a reasonable 15 euros. Orders can be placed up to one hour before flight times and are an amenity that will appeal to foodies with an appreciation for fresh and well-curated airline meals.
Though airline food has had a bad rep in the past, recent in-flight meals have gone the gourmet route to please travelers with more lavish tastes.
