Austrian has a new tariff concept as of Autumn 2015

Starting autumn 2015, Austrian will implement a new tariff concept for flights in Europe and within Austria.  The former Economy-Class will be sub-divided into 3 tariff categories – ‘Light’ (cheaper than the existing ‘red ticket’ tariff), ‘Classic’ and ‘Flex’. As already the norm with other airlines, tariffs will be calculated according to different parameters such as luggage allowance, board service, selection of seats or re-booking possibilities. The business class will remain unchanged. Austrian Airlines will implement the new tariff concept together with Lufthansa and Swiss and thereby equalize the different inner European price systems. Details about the new tariff system shall be published in Summer and will be available for booking as of then.
