10+ Airlines Ranked from Best to Worst

Austrian Airlines is based in Vienna and operates as part of the Lufthansa Group, focusing on European routes along with long-haul connections. It’s known for its in-flight catering, especially its coffee service, and a more traditional full-service experience.

What lands it here is that it does the basics well while offering a few standout touches. The food and service can feel a step above similar European carriers, though the cabins don’t always feel as modern. It’s a pleasant airline overall, just not quite at the level of the best in Europe.
