Austrian Airlines business class - Vienna to Beijing

Flying Austrian Airlines Vienna to Beijing in business class











Austrian countryside, as seen a few minutes after take-off



The dinner menu with five courses


And the drinks selection


 


Champagne and nuts


The antipasti trolley


Here's a mixed plate of antipasti


The second course - soup - was served at each seat like in a fancy restaurant.


Creamy fennel soup and tomato crostini


Main: braised veal with sweet corn Mousseline and root vegetables


After the main course, the "Coffee Menu was distributed". Impressive selection!


"Welcome to the Viennese coffee house above the clouds"




The dessert trolley (oddly, it was brought before the cheese trolley)


Again, a little of everything. The Topfennockerl (traditional sweet curd dumpling) with its plum ragout was really good, as was the dessert wine (Kracher cuvée Beerenauslese).


While enjoying dessert,  the cheese trolley was finally brought.



By then, my coffee drink was ready: Wiener Eiskaffee (double espresso served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream). Decadent!


After dinner service, the lights were dimmed and it was time to sleep. About 1h45 before landing, just south of Ulanbaatar, breakfast was served.


My breakfast selection (chosen before take-off) was brought:
Plain yogurt and granola
Eggs sunny-side up
Fresh fruits
Breads, jams, Nutella


The eggs were plain disgusting. Moreover, the smells of "fried" eggs and bacon were stinking the cabin.


Fruit smoothie (nice!) and hot chocolate


Seconds before touchdown


Taxiing to the gate
