CONCLUSION

I visited the new Austrian Lounge in the G gates in Vienna Airport last month. Although the food and drinks selection were good (they have Don catering now after Do&Co), I thought the design was a let down. The sofas and chairs were not the same quality you'd find in the Lufthansa and Swiss lounges, and there was no proper design either. I hope they could make it more appealing in the future 😉
