Austrian Airlines, part of the Lufthansa Group, operates from Vienna International Airport with a strong European network and routes to Asia, the Middle East and North America. Their bike policy is consistent with the Lufthansa Group — sports equipment fee, pre-notification required, hard case or padded bag, electric bikes banned. Vienna is a remarkable cycling city — ranked consistently among Europe's top five — so arriving on a Brompton via Austrian Airlines and cycling from the airport into the Ringstrasse on the dedicated cycle route makes perfect sense.
