Austrian Airlines launches US - Vienna Promotion

Austrian Airlines has launched a US$799 “Vienna for a Song” promotion which includes roundtrip economy class air transportation from either New York (JFK) or Washington, DC (IAD), two nights hotel accommodation in Vienna’s first-class Hotel Westbahn, daily buffet breakfast, hotel service charges and hotel taxes. It is valid for travel any day of the week between January 10 and February 28, 2009, subject to availability, and needs to be booked and confirmed at least 14 days prior to departure.

In addition, three-night getaways on Austrian Airlines, called City Steals, are being offered to European destinations such as Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Krakow, Barcelona and Venice, to name a few. All hotels featured in these packages are centrally located, superior tourist class properties, and upgrades are available.

“The recent strengthening of the US Dollar has created a renewed interest in trips to Europe,” said Bram Majtlis, President of Austrian Airlines Vacation Center. “And when you travel during the winter season, your travel dollars will go even further!”

One of the advantages of any of Austrian Airlines’ vacation packages is their flexibility: one can stay in Europe up to 30 days, and use the consecutive hotel nights at the beginning or the end of the trip. Furthermore, one optional stopover in Vienna is allowed, so if one selects a City Steal beyond Vienna, extra days in Vienna may be added. Of course, additional hotel accommodations are extra. Single supplements, upgrades, additional combinations and extensions are available upon request.

The “Vienna for a Song” vacation package and all City Steals must be paid in full within 7 days after reservations are confirmed, and no later than 14 days prior to departure. Once confirmed, the packages are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be changed. All packages will be booked on Austrian Airlines in economy class and are subject to schedule and space availability. Minimum stay is 3 nights or one Saturday overnight, and the maximum stay in Europe is 30 days. City Steals package prices include fuel surcharges but do not include US Customs / INS / Aphis fees / International Transportation Tax / Passenger Facility Charges / Civil Aviation Security Fee / domestic and foreign Security and Airport Charges of approximately US$130 per passenger, depending on the itinerary.
