Three Times a Week: A Convenient Panda Escape

Vienna just got a whole lot more panda-licious! Hainan Airlines announced a new direct flight between Vienna Airport and Chengdu, the spicy hotpot capital of Sichuan Province, China. What's the big deal? Well, this isn't just any flight—it's the first direct connection between Vienna and the city where fiery hotpot meets adorable giant pandas. Now that's a combo you can't make up—and it’s probably the only time you’ll sweat from spice and cuteness in the same trip.

Chengdu’s Not Just About Pandas... But Also Pandas

Okay, okay, Chengdu is home to much more than just adorable pandas, though they are hard to ignore. The city is a global hub for electronics and biotechnology—so if you’re into gadgets or science, Chengdu has you covered. But let’s be honest, the real star attraction is the Sichuan cuisine, where your taste buds will undergo a spicy revolution (seriously, pack some water). 

Connecting Austria and China, One Panda at a Time

With this flight, Hainan Airlines is not just giving you easy access to Chengdu, they’re building bridges—cultural, economic, and tourism bridges between Austria and China. This route is like the friendship handshake of the travel world.  Now Vienna isn’t just waltzing with Europe—it’s connecting with Asia in a whole new way. 

The Return Journey—Snooze Button, Anyone?

Not to worry, if you’re not a morning person, you can sleep in a bit on the return leg. The flight from Vienna departs at 12:30 PM, so you can enjoy a leisurely lunch before heading back to Chengdu at 5:10 PM the next day. That gives you time to dream about pandas and maybe sneak in some Sichuan hotpot before you land.
