Austrian Business Lounge Vie Non
★2.8(187 reviews)VIE
Austrian hospitality before a non-Schengen flight — buffet, full bar and a paid-entry route.
The Austrian Business Lounge is Austrian Airlines' business-class lounge for non-Schengen departures at Vienna, the carrier's home hub. As the lounge's own billing puts it, it's a place to enjoy Austrian hospitality before your flight, with a hot and cold buffet and a full bar pouring soft drinks, house wine, beer and spirits. It's listed with a paid-entry route as well as the usual airline and Star Alliance access. One important caveat: Austrian Airlines is mid-rebuild at Vienna. In December 2024 the airline opened a temporary lounge at the non-Schengen Gates G area that combined the previous Business and Senator lounges into a single space, with a permanent lounge planned for 2027. So while this listing reflects the Austrian Business Lounge experience, the exact room you reach in the non-Schengen area may be the temporary Gates G lounge — check current signage when you arrive.
Crowding · moderate
Fine for light work before a flight, with seating and Wi-Fi, though it's primarily an eat-and-relax business lounge rather than a dedicated workspace.
A complimentary hot and cold buffet in the Austrian-hospitality style, served alongside a full bar of soft drinks, house wine, beer and spirits. The spread is designed to let business-class passengers eat and drink properly before a non-Schengen departure.
