June 28, 2012 flight2000it

With Austrian’s new redup service, Economy Class passengers can now enjoy the benefits of Business Class more quickly and easily than ever before: if you don’t need full ticket flexibility, for example, but value the Business Class comfort, you can simply book an Economy Ticket with the upgrade in a single process atwww.austrian.com. Passengers who are undecided can also upgrade later online –up to a few hours before departure. The upgrade can also be organised at travel agencies. And passengers who decide on the spur of the moment that they would like an upgrade can even use redup with Web Check-in: the offer is available as long as there are sufficient numbers of Business Class seats free. Redup can be used on all scheduled flights operated by Austrian with an OS flight number. Using it lets you fly Business Class without paying the full price.
