Cabin bags
| What | When bought | Price | Charged | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8kg cabin bag added to an Economy Basic fare within Europe, online inferred Starting price for all Lufthansa Group airlines, Austrian included; the price depends on when you book and when you travel, and no upper price is given. Austrian's own pages confirm the cabin bag can be added online or by phone up to two hours before departure, but never at the airport, and give no price. Only one cabin bag per passenger. | online, when booking | from €15 / ≈from £12.60 | per person, per flight | source, checked 2026-10-24 |
| Cabin bag taken at the gate because it is not in your fare or is too big or heavy Austrian does not sell cabin bags at the airport. A bag that is not allowed in the cabin on your fare (for example a cabin bag on Economy Basic) is put in the hold for this fee, which depends on the route. Any bag brought to the gate counts as a cabin bag, even if your fare includes a checked bag. | at the airport | €60 to €110 / ≈£50.42 to £92.43 / US$75 to US$125 | per item | source, checked 2026-10-24 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Priority boarding inferred Within Europe, the Lufthansa Group fare table (which covers Austrian) shows priority boarding as included on Economy Flex and not available on Basic, Light or Comfort. Austrian's extra-services page does not offer it on its own, so it does not appear to be sold separately. Only at some airports. | online, when booking | not published Paid for this?
