Austrian Airlines: “Dubai Deal” winter trial
From December 2025 through March 2026, Austrian Airlines will test a new product: the “Dubai Deal.” The service will operate 5 times a week with the A320neo fleet, starting at a fare of EUR 314 round trip.
Whether it becomes a permanent part of the schedule, this will depend on the trial’s success.
“An aircraft in the air is always better than one on the ground – and at the same time, we want to offer our guests a compelling deal. We understand this route comes with strong and very comfortable competition. But by deploying aircraft that would otherwise be idle during winter, we can afford to take a bold step, try something new, and challenge the market,” explains Austrian Airlines CEO Annette Mann.
Why an experiment?
Instead of long-haul jets, the route will be operated with A320neo. While there will be no inflight entertainment, passengers can expect new options and features from December onwards to tailor the flight experience to their individual preferences. Austrian is focusing on smart extras and small onboard highlights to make the journey enjoyable, nonetheless. Added to the attractive price point during peak travel season is the airline’s award-winning service concept, including on-board catering through the Austrian Melangerie.

Flight OS89 departs Vienna at 18:55 every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, arriving in Dubai at 03:40 local time. Return flight OS90 leaves Dubai at 06:05 and lands in Vienna at 09:25.
