- Servus everyone and welcome to this Austrian Airlines video to Tokyo Narita!
As soon as Japan opened up I had to make my way there. As I found myself in Croatia my quickest option was Austrian Airlines.
I don’t remember seeing any great feedback about them in recent online video’s and I had the impression that many cuts had taken place during Covid. The onboard chefs were gone and with them some of the iconic catering items.
And while I can tell you in advance that the catering does indeed need some improving, I’ve got to tell you that I was frankly very surprised with all the other things that are available! To such an extent that they’re actually able to rank amongst Europe’s best.
Join me in thanking the lovely set of cabin crew on this particular flight, with a special call out to the Japanese colleagues, for understanding my plane-geekness and being happy to show us all, all the Austrian touches that many of us are unaware of.
So sit back and enjoy!
By the way, I also make mistakes, the following plane destinations at the end of the video are incorrect as I checked the wrong dates;
ANA B787-8 JA820A to Seattle
ANA B787-9 JA880A to Houston IAH
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Vienna International Airport, Austria
To: Tokyo Narita International Airport, Japan
Flight Number: OS051
Aircraft Type: Boeing B777-2000ER
Registration: OE-LPE
Flight Time: 11:44
Don’t forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed our video!

Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion and feedback.
Have a nice one!

super entertaining & the generosity and customer care of the Austrian cabin crew drives me to fly with them next time I am headed to Europe in February 2023
I was very lucky this time. I had some nice long chats with them and it made the long flight feel so short!
Have a nice flight!😄
Another phenomenal video! This is by the far the best source for reviews! Love the technical nuggets, curiosity, and of course the copious consumption of alcohol! All the best! Can't wait to see the business class review of an OS flight!
That’s a lovely comment, thanks!! I do my best to be as unbiased as possible, but also with a positive spin. I don’t like to nag or monetize on the flaws.
And the alcohol just makes the fights double fun!
Thanks again!
Flew with Austrian this year from Vienna to Tokyo Narita in the 777 (economy) and I had a great experience. The crew was super friendly and it felt like a very comfortable flight. It was quite long (something like 13 hours to Tokyo and 14 back), we all know why. I was never in any discomfort. I read some people felt like this was outdated stuff and subpar but for me it felt great.
I love your approach to flying and your videos. I too love a tipple (or 3) when flying so it's nice to see you generously sample what the airlines have to offer versus just getting a 7up. Keep up the great long-haul content! Singapore soon? Yahoo!
Thanks, I’m glad you like it. I agree with you, there’s just so much more then 7up. And many of us don’t know. So it’s easy to complain when you actually don’t really know!
SQ hopefully again soon!
Fabulous report that felt at times like a business class review, such was the depth of the quality you presented.
Thanks Paul! Hopefully I get to show the actual Business Class soon!
Austrian Airlines Have Great Cabin Crew.Great Work
They were stunning on this flight! It made my day.
@@TheLayoverAviation genious !!
Ka Avjon meser dt 21Qershor/6.2023 Wien Austri -Tiranè? Dhe sa èshtè bileta
Am convinced the intro in this report is among the best ones i have seen so far
Thanks Samuel! A Waltz was in order for an Austrian long haul video!
I LOVE Austrian and the Austrian people also! Great country, great people! Thanks for sharing this video!🖖
What great words to me and to the Austrians, thanks!
Keep enjoying!
Is EK a new airline???? NEVER HEARD OF IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You nailed it again Alex.. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 A GREAT GREAT video with the OS red touch... Congratulations buddy... A big bravo to the excellent crew too... 👏👏👏👏
ohh great video as always my friend!
gotta love Austrian, i flow with them this summer to solo, great experience, and Vienna airport is so nice!
that safety video with the smiling man..i lought so hard(great job editing :D)
i wonder why the flight was so empty, japan is one of my top destinations
i wonder when Austrian will start to upgrade their fleet they are all a bit old(all the 777 and the 767) they still have and they are staying behind all the European companies.
can't wait for the next video!
Vienna airport is very effective indeed. I rarely get to spend a lot of time so I’m not very familiar.
The safety video is a blast, I’m sure it must be a troll from Austrian to passengers because I can’t believe they’re serious!
The B767’s are on the way out to be replaced by B787’s, I think they just recently announced it.
And I think they stay behind as the LH group seems to invest more in LH, LX and EW.
See you around!
Wow another great blog loved the intro Alex I also never knew Austrian flies to Tokyo I learn a lot about aviation from you blogs
Austrian used to fly year round but now only during the summer season. I think it’s as there are many Japanese visiting Europe in the summer.
Have a nice one Ali!
Wow this is the best flight review for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ i know a lot of aircraft around even on the sky while you flying
Thanks, so nice of you to say! Have a look at the rest, there are some better ones😉
One of the better reviews I’ve seen on here.
Thank you for the nice compliment!
Great! thanks for this flight report
Always a big thanks for watching
Hey another great video great to see Austrian fighting back and upgrading its products great selection of beverages ,elder brothers better watch out
I think these products were there all along but we just didn’t know about it! If they just improved the catering it would be many times better.
See you Saud!
going to fly with austrian airlines tomorrow! b777-200. very excited after i saw this amazing video.
Thanks! I wish you a very happy flight, make the most out of the experience!!
I really like air austrian i have flew on it from Montreal to Vienna 8 hour flight the economy class was soo cool nice video!
Great video, Thanks for all B777 informations👍👍
Always a pleasure to share it with my fellow avgeeks!
Thanks for watching!
Tokyo my favorite city from Asia have a nice weekend nice capture Good job
So is it mine! And Singapore!
Nice trip report, really informative and greatly enjoyed!
Thank you my friend!
Lover the video and the technical aspects were explained well :)
Happy you enjoyed it😄
Painted the sky Red..way to go Bro!..thx for the trip...njoy!!!!!!
Thank you Martin, hope you enjoyed :)
Ótimo serviço de bordo da Austrian. Parabéns pelo vídeo... 👏🏿🤝🏿
Obrigado Hamilton!
Lovely trip report!!!
Thanks Andrew!
Great flight report ... as usual 🍸The food looked OK, but as you said, it could be improved upon, but it was great to see that there were snacks and drinks between services. The blankets looked nice, would make a great addition to the collection that the misses loves from another airline 😜 Looking forward to the next flight 🥂
Agreed. At least put more options on the table.
The blanket joined the collection at my house indeed😂
It’s not on the couch today though. Today one couch is covered with a purple Thai Economy Class blanket and the other from United Polaris 😂
The beverage selection was substantial! Very impressive..
@@TheLayoverAviation and I thought I was a shocker 😂😂😂🍸
Nice Super beautiful on the Flight video 🛫🛫🛫✈️✈️✈️✈️👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot!!
This was really entertaining and informative - thank you - I will try Austrian when I get the choice.
Thanks a lot! Along with Swiss they’re the best in the LH group.
Beautiful journey 👍💟💞💖
and thanks for joining along😄
great video thank you
If anything Austrian Airlines have one the best liveries ou there. They didn't have to change them much because they are just so damn perfect.
I yesterday saw in Bangkok their special livery celebrating their anniversary , even better!
I enjoyed this “silent” review so much - my kinda flight that was - kan pai!
Very glad you did, thanks for writing!
Ahaha, I always listen to Strauß while landings - its already became a tradition 😂
I don’t listen to anything as I love to hear the engines, but I do listen to the same song prior to flying for years!
I love your videos man, Im hopefully going to Japan in April on a United 777-200ER :)
Thanks, very happy you do! Have a very fun flight in April, and don’t forget to enjoy all the food in Japan :)
That sweet Beerenausschleese was indeed something special
A very surprising treat!
Very nice video ! I'm a little bit scared of flying so your video has reassuring me a lot; Btw my next trip by plane is to Tokyo
Don’t be scared, it’s the most beautiful thing to do!
Have a lovely flight to Tokyo, I’m sure it will be hreat
i flew their 772 from JFK to Vienna 3 years ago, I love Austrian airlines, although their long haul fleets are little old compare to LH & LX , wish Austrian getting their long haul fleets renewal soon!
I think that the LH group just announced B787’s for Austrian!
And despite of the age, I think they look like new to me!
Excellent 👌
Thanks!
excellent video✈️
Thanks!!
Very nice!
Thank you!
Wonderful journey with you, como siempre...! I'm not sure when this was filmed though, as there are no Ryanair flights from Vienna to Mykonos in January...!
I can’t film and publish straight away, it takes very long to edit. And I have a backlog of over 60 video’s. So yes, not from Jan. I think October.
great vid! Did the arm rest on the window side lift up? Big guy and looking to book this place jfk to vienna
Konnichiwa Alex!!
Great video again,I waited for this!!! I hope you love Japan as me 😅 Ahh...the Austrian on long flight seems to be ok airline... I cannot believe that Austrain will have B787 😵...So we will say goodbye to 767...
Great video once again!!! See you!! Sayonara!
Maurice! How are you!? Yes I love Japan, I love to visit and used to go all the time. I’ll try to fly the B767 a few times before it gets replaced.. And I’m sure you will too!😃
Im good,thank you!!!..Japan is a magical place! And yes,we need to catch it! Really kind words from you!💪🏻
Thanks for the great video! Do you know anything about the "Legroom Seats" they are now offering on the 777-200ER for an additional €80? They are located between the premium economy seats and the regular economy seats. I can't find any information about them. It's not the same as the exit row seats.
So what is the Austrian drink. The lunch portion seemed small compared to the Middle East Airlines, also what is this vegetarian option only. Had the same thing last year in AF going to Mumbai. That was definitely a nice touch that they gave you a little wine taste. I would agree their selection of beverages for economy class was the best I have seen. Great to see a crew try to give a great experience more than just saying they are just for safety. Great video as always.
Great video. As always, goes without saying 😊. I have an old justplanes video where their -200ER departs Sydney with flaps 20, I believe. It's was on the shorter runway (25, I think)
You are right!! I even searched in and rewatched it. Maybe it was due to the noise abatement procedure as the flight to KL is not that long, so I doubt the aircraft was that heavy? I guess we won’t know now!
@@TheLayoverAviation was a relatively short hop to Kuala Lumpur on its way back to Vienna. Apparently there was also an extraordinary situation sometime whereby the North/south runways were closed due to extreme winds.
10:35 Nice view of Budapest my hometown :)
What a beautiful place you live in!
@@TheLayoverAviation We can change of you want, I move to Dubai and you move to Budapest?? :DD I visit Dubai every year!
hi! as always a great video! i wanted to ask what is OS51 you mentioned during sunset
OS 051 is the flight number!
Thanks for watching! :)
Volar en 777-200 es una delicia. Austrian me parece buena no se porque escucho cosas negativas, aunque fallaron en esa pasta como única opción… por eso tiraste la mantequilla no??? Jajajajajaj. Gran video! Un abrazo!
Me encantan los B777, pero voy a sonar mimado si digo que ya aveces me canso y prefiero algún A350-A330 ya que en Dubai hay pocos..
Para qué la mantequilla con toda la grasa que llevaba la pasta 😱
Un abrazo!
@@TheLayoverAviation LOL 🤣
Thank you for the information what i asked you last video How u track all flight details,i always love your video
I’m glad you got your answer 😛
It’s quite easy. And they’re many apps that do that.
Thanks for watching!
Gonna be fun flying to Mauritius in that for 10h
I’m sure you’ll have a great time!!
@@TheLayoverAviation thank you
Great report.🙂 What was the rattle noice in the toilet? Hope you have a god 2023.🥳
If it’s a rattle noise I think it’s just vibrations due to the thrust/engines. Happens on many aircraft depending on the location!
Viajo la próxima semana en el mismo vuelo y tenia curiosidad por conocer la aerolínea, el trayecto y los servicios de a bordo. Debo decir que me he tragado los 27 minutos y no se me podían haber hecho más amenos. Has redespertado en mí el interés y curiosidad por el mundo de la aviación. Llegas a poner los subtítulos también en Spanish y ya sería top. Gracias por tus vídeos!
Quante ore di volo per raggiungere il Giappone ? MI piacerebbe visitarlo tantisssimo! Comunue bel volo e bel video.
I love your videos and am an avid avgeek myself. When you take treats for the crew, how do you give it to them? Do you give it to the first cabin crew member you see when you board?
Thanks Syed, I’m very glad to read that! Always happy to be surrounded by more avgeeks 😊
There’s always a moment and time for everything I guess, so I’ll try to find the right one once they’re not too busy. Mostly so try to board last in order not to disturb. It depends on the day. Sometimes I don’t bring anything at all.
Have a nice one!
Hello, could you indicate the best seat numbers for taller people (in Economy class)? You mentioned the seats on the back which number? I'm 1.90 meter could I ask how tall you are( only as reference for the video)
A triangular fold🔺 of the toilet paper😆 👍from🇯🇵
I only do it on flights to Japan out of respect 🤣
With compliments of Putin😂
I don’t mind spending some more hours in a plane.
Great video bud 👍🏼
Extra flying time for the plane lovers🤪
I do like Vienna airport as well, in transit with EVA.
I didn’t even get to enjoy it this time as the transfer was so short!
5:49 that was funny :D
Very retro😅
Budapest❤
すごい !
Szia I Love Budapest ✈️😍❤️🇭🇺
Can’t wait to visit again😍
Quick Question: Do you need to cross migration if you are moving between terminals in the Vienna International Airport and the Narita International Airport?
yes. But he did not move between terminals, Viennas Terminal 3 was very well planned so he just needs to get two levels up. The international gates are just two levels up and same airbridges are used. For example:
Gate F 01 = Gate G 01. If your plane is a schengen flight, you will reach the airbridge by Gate F 01 at same level.
If your airplane is a non schengen flight, you will reach the airbridge (the exact one like Gate F 01) from two levels above down with an escalator.
Your arrival also depends if you come from schengen or not. If yes, you will be led one level higher and around immigration. If no, some doors switch and you will be led to immigration.
The meals are good but tiny. And as to the snack on a 9 hour flight they give you "half" a sandwich. Fortunately I paid 25 Euros for a luxury meal which I shared with my travel companion who had the regular meal. Lufthansa and Swiss had the brilliant idea from the US airlines to serve lettuce as a starter which cuts costs considerably.
Are those upgraded meals still available? I thought they were gone.
I hope the Lufty group upgrades their choices. Swiss for now still is great in my opinion.
I see at 19:40 that you are editing video on your iPad. Does it do a good job for you considering it'sa tablet? And do you edit in iMovie?
iPad is just the best for me. Simplicity and mobility was the easiest. Laptops or computers are heavy/not mobile, it takes time, and the iPad is just fast. The same goes for the iPhone. I transfer files quickly and it films in good quality, so my camera became obsolete.
The editing I do in something called VN editor.
@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you so much for your reply. I will consider your approach when I start making my own videos. By the way, you really helped me get through two years of working from home with your videos. They were a bright spot during many days where I needed one.
Thanks a lot for a great video! You mention good legroom, as a reference, how tall are you?
Thanks my friend!
I am 1.77m. Yes, good legroom for my comparison standards..
Cheers to Austrian Airlines ....
🍻
Nice video, appreciated efforts. BUT beverage snack service after takeoff + Almdudler with a second beer at the same time with veg. pasta and coffee + wine + Whisky then scrambled egg with mushroom and tomato with also coffee with pressure of aircraft , you must have GMC stomach
Don’t forget all the Japanese food I had after landing☝🏼
@@TheLayoverAviation My three lines comment is only a summary

I suspect that Vienna-Tokyo route is MUCH different today with Russian airspace off limits..
Hi bro Im in love of your videos because the detail you give thanks for everything ❤ your true fan❤ BTW my fav airplane is the Boeing 777-300er ❤ what's yours?
What nice words, thank you!
My favorite plane is the MD-11, but there are no more passenger versions flying. So now I would have to say that geek wise I like the B757 and comfort wise the A350 and A380.
@@TheLayoverAviation OMG thanks for your reply 🥰 you got a nice taste 👍keep up the good work love you and once again your true fan🥰
Campari Spritz was served for economy passengers?
I am going to fly to amsterdam with austrian i really hope it goes this well❤
The long flights are the best ones. Intra Europe it’s quite simple. I wish you lots of fun!
Hi nice i love japan so much my friend from homeschool she's living in japan with his boyfriend i said "i want to live in japan" i always wanted to live in hokkaido the north prefecture of japan because is very populated and alot of skyscrapers
I wouldn’t live there as I would just be eating non stop and end up like a sumo wrestler. But I absolutely love the country. And yes, Hokkaido is something special! I hope you get to visit soon!
@@TheLayoverAviation of course i will is not about sumo there's healthier options in japan like bento and ramen i always wanted to try bento boxes with everything on it
Alex another well done job. You need to come do a video on my flight where are you now?
I wouldn’t mind, but it’s mostly business/family related trips I take, so I don’t really freely travel around.
I’m in Dubai and so far for this month I’ve had to visit Mumbai, Singapore and will visit Croatia for a break.
No US planned in February😞
@@TheLayoverAviation yes I think family and work are very important. I thought you where a pilot since you know so much about aviation. I my self am a flight attendant based in chicago but live in south new jersey. And have to say my favorite airplane is the A350 and favorite destination is Malaga Spain.

Your trip reports are very well made. Thanks always a pleasure.
One question - why does your intro has to be that loud - it almost blows my speakers and my ears.
Best greetings from Thailand
Frank
Hey Frank, thanks for the comment!
About the volume, I don’t really know, it sounds well on my speakers and supposedly it’s at the same sound levels as everything else.. But I’ll review it in the next video!
pd. I’m in Bangkok as we speak, foot massaging before going for a beer after a busy day of work😎
26:28 the man in the airport and is a former famous baseball ⚾ player, ichiro. Every Japanese knows him. The ad might be a bank ad,SMBC.
Finally I know, thank you! Yes, he has been advertising. for SMBC ever since I can remember, he’s the first person you see when you land in Japan.
Thank you for watching!
when did you take the flight?
I think it was somewhere in October.
Gösser natürlich! 16-Blech nur wenn i nix andres find!🤣🤣🤣

"A toast to Austrian Airlines for surving bubbly in Economy." I Think most airlines serve "bubbly"
Spa Red or any sparkling water comes to mind 😂
Aha yes, that kind of bubbly is common! I think they might have that too, so Austrian actually serves a wide range of bubby!
Какая прелесть, как приятно смотреть, что вражеские самолёты больше не летают через транссибирские маршруты, а облетают огромную Россию по периферии

Very very super on the Chair Tv and wonderful on the breakfast 🪑🪑🪑📺📺📺🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵💺💺💺💺
hahaha enjoy the brekkie! I’m off to sleep as it’s midnight here.
I flew on Lufthansa same distance, same time in "Premium" Economy and the Catering was a joke, I mean it stars with the bottle of water, Austrian Economy its 0,5 Liter, Lufthansa "Premium" Economy 0,2 Liter and so on. I don't understand why the basic product within a group differs that much. If possible I choose Austrian over LH anytime. For the rest in Economy I go with Airfrance. If money isnt a problem Singapore or ANA or JAL to Asia is my first choice.

Why don’t you fly to Honolulu from Tokyo and then back to return on the A380?
I live in Dubai so that trip is a bit far for me. But I do visit Hawaii in one of the video’s that is coming up 😉
On the long-haul route, especially to Japan, things should go better with Austrian. As on the European flights with their A320 with their garden chairs (for which an extra €14 is charged in order to be able to use them) and as food with a cup of water and a chocolate thaler. An absolute scandal.

Hi what the date of this flight?
I think it was somewhere in October..
@@TheLayoverAviationhi I will fly from Vienna to Tokyo in September and I see the flight was empty
The sole veggie pasta Y meal seems to be the go-to for the LH group. Pretty underwhelming.
I wouldn’t have minded some rice..
How tall are you?
177cm
Please try Thai airways from Bangkok to lahore please 🤐
That is very specific.. I’ll go to Lahore eventually but don’t know if to Thailand. Maybe some day!
OE-LPE aka VN-A147
True!
Look at the bright side. The longer flights around Ukraine give you more time to drink.
That’s precisely how I view it!😏
