GLOToday Austrian Airlines opens its new lounge areas at the G-Gates in the non-Schengen area at Vienna Airport on Level 3, offering the best service, culinary delights and privacy for lounge guests with a fresh design concept.
The new feel-good zones are open daily from 5.30 a.m. to 11.00 p.m.
Until the planned completion of the South Terminal extension in 2027, non-Schengen guests will now be warmly welcomed around the former G01 and G03 gates. This is an ideal location during the major construction phase, allowing guests to reach their gates even more quickly and, thanks to its elevated position, a direct view of the hustle and bustle on the airfield and the large construction site. After completion, the Austrian Lounges at Vienna Airport will be relocated to a new, central and significantly larger area.
“I am delighted that we will be able to offer our non-Schengen guests an attractive lounge experience with this newly designed area until the completion of the South Terminal extension in 2027,” says Austrian Airlines CCO Dr Michael Trestl.

Cosiness and Austrian hospitality for the best lounge experience
Natural, high-quality, tactile materials in rich, earthy colours dominate the new concept. The furniture impresses with modern interpretations of classics such as the Austrian design Thonet armchairs with elements in Austrian red and cosy Ovale single chairs for extra privacy, for undisturbed work or simply for relaxing. Soft carpets and a sophisticated lighting concept in the various zones complete the feel-good character of the lounges – always in reference to the diverse landscapes and cultural identity of Austria.
The fact that the lounge experience is now complemented by a serviced coffee house area with coffee and cakes in addition to the existing food offering completes the Austrian culinary experience.
The new lounge offers space for up to 180 guests, and HON Circle members will continue to have an exclusive area within the lounge with their own service.
Automated access control to a lounge (incl. accompanying person) is now being introduced for the first time at Austrian, and the use of ‘Star Alliance Biometrics Entrance’ will also be possible in the future.
On average, 800 guests visit the lounges in the non-Schengen area every day.
