Booking made easy: Austrian Airlines unveils new 3D seat map
Planning a trip is always exciting, but executing the logistics of itineraries, accommodation, and flights can sometimes be a pain.
Austrian Airlines‘ new feature allows passengers aboard Boeing 777 aircraft to virtually view their preferred seats and reserve them directly through the normal booking process via their new 3D seat map for a Goldilocks feel that is just right.
The airline is based out of Vienna and possesses 85 aircraft.

The collection of planes is mostly made up of A320-200s, primarily utilized for travel around Europe. However, they also hold six 767s and six 777s for longer-distance international travel, which is where these 3D seat maps will be initially implemented.
Previously only available in a two-dimensional format, the airline has been working to develop this updated version in a joint effort with Spanish agency Renacen.
