There was a variety of passengers onboard the morning’s inaugural flight, some travelling for pleasure, some for musical concerts and others returning home after visiting family and friends in the UK. The route is easyJet's first service to Vienna and has been long awaited by the region's travellers, Karl and Janice Smith from Soham in Cambridgeshire enjoyed the airport celebrations before they took off on the inaugural flight this morning.

Vienna is a city waiting to be explored and has something for everyone. It is home to two magnificent palaces located on the Belvedere grounds that boast magnificent architecture constructed for Prince Eugene of Savoy by J.L. von Hildebrandt, a famous Baroque architect.

Heading into the city you can stroll along the River Danube and indulge in the Viennese pastries that await you before heading off to either the Schönbrunn Zoo, the world's oldest and only Baroque zoo, or head for the locally known 'concrete needle', the Danube Tower offering magnificent views across Vienna, which will simply take your breath away.
