There’s a bit of a scandal at Austrian Airlines, as the Lufthansa Group carrier has reportedly uncovered quite the scheme, as reported by MeinBezirk.
Along those lines, Austrian has issued an internal memo, warning of repercussions for misuse of these benefits. The airline has been performing an investigation in recent times, in order to crack down on those who are violating the rules in order to enrich themselves.
The investigation seems to center the most around the resale of PEP and staff travel tickets, with employees selling these to third parties, in order to make a buck (or, well, lots of bucks). The memo warns of “several serious violations,” “primarily in connection with PEP tickets.”
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
