Austrian Airlines booking check for travellers from India

How to look up a booking on Austrian Airlines

1. 1Go to austrian.com and open My Bookings, which some pages call Manage my booking.
2. 2Enter your last name and the booking code from your confirmation email.
3. 3Look at who operates each flight. austrian.com notes when a leg is flown by a partner airline.
4. 4Match the passenger names, dates and the Vienna connection against your visa form and hotel bookings.
5. 5For a receipt of a paid ticket, use the passenger receipt page with the 13-digit e-ticket number, not the 6-digit code.
6. 6An unpaid reservation has no e-ticket number, so the passenger receipt page does not apply to it.

Austrian’s 48-hour price guarantee and a flight reservation

Austrian’s “Reservation with price guarantee” is the same Lufthansa Group product sold by Lufthansa and SWISS. It holds a fare for 48 hours for a surcharge that starts at 7 EUR per person and rises with availability, destination and how soon you fly. Austrian bills the fee separately and does not credit it to the fare.

It covers only flights on Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian and Brussels Airlines, only private individuals may use it, and miles and promo codes are excluded. Nothing can be changed or added while the hold runs, and each reservation covers one journey. For a trip from India the catch is the long-haul leg: if Air India flies it, the itinerary may not qualify at all, and availability on the India site was not confirmed.

A flight reservation from the desk is not tied to one airline group. It is held in your name on the route you plan, for example Delhi to Vienna via Frankfurt or Istanbul, without payment to the airline. It is not a ticket. How long an unpaid hold survives is for the airline to decide, so ask for it on the day you submit.

Check-in 47 hours ahead, and who runs the desk in India

Austrian opens online check-in unusually early, usually 47 hours before flights to and from Vienna, which gives two days for seats and extras. Dubrovnik, Split and Zadar open at 24 hours, and on itineraries that touch the US, boarding passes are issued only from 24 hours. Austrian’s closing time was not confirmed.

Because Austrian does not appear to operate its own India flights, the counter at Delhi or Mumbai belongs to the airline that flies the first leg: Air India on the Delhi–Vienna nonstop while it runs, or Lufthansa, SWISS or another carrier on a one-stop trip. Lufthansa, for one, says it cannot check in online a flight that another airline operates under its number. Follow the operating airline’s check-in instructions and take your passport and visa to that counter.

Connecting through Vienna on an Indian passport

Austria is unmarked for India in the EU’s Annex 7B list of national airport transit visa requirements, so an Indian passport holder can change planes airside at Vienna on the way to a country outside Schengen. Vienna’s own transit-area rules were not confirmed for this page, so keep both flights on one ticket with bags checked through.

A trip to Austria itself, or on to Central and Eastern Europe, means entering Schengen. If the first Schengen airport is Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich, immigration happens there and the flight to Vienna is an internal Schengen hop. If Vienna is the first stop, passport control is in Vienna. Either way a Schengen visa is needed, from the country of your main stay.

Avoid sending a traveller without an exemption through Prague. Czechia is one of two Schengen states, with Romania, that still require an airport transit visa from Indians.

How Austrian connects to India now

The Lufthansa Group’s February 2026 release lists India flights for Lufthansa, SWISS and ITA but none for Austrian, and it shows Delhi–Vienna as an Air India operation. austrian.com still sells Delhi and Mumbai to Vienna trips and notes that some flights are operated by partners. A travel-agency blog claims Austrian flies Delhi–Vienna nonstop, but nothing official supports that.

Air India’s Delhi–Vienna nonstop, four times a week and Austria’s only direct link to India, was reported in October 2026 to be suspended from the start of November 2026. If that holds, every India–Austria journey becomes one-stop, typically through Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Istanbul or a Gulf hub. A February 2025 codeshare added 26 routes carrying Air India’s code on Austrian flights from Vienna, and the February 2026 Air India memorandum lists India–Austria in its first phase.
