Buy People's Flights with Alternative Airlines

People’s, formerly People's Viennaline, is an Austrian airline that operates scheduled passenger flights between its base at St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport and Vienna International Airport and also offers seasonal flight and charter flights to destinations elsewhere in Europe.

Although the company was found in 2010, the airline didn't operate its inaugural flight until 2011. Initially, the airline offered just one service from St.Gallen-Alternhein Airport (ACH) but throughout the years, the airline's flight network has grown significantly and it now operates to over 15 different destinations on a seasonal basis.

The airline is known for being the airline to offer a service which flew between St.Gallen Altenrhein Airport (ACH) and Friedrichshafen Airport (FDH). This flight had a journey time of just eight minutes and was the shortest international route ever flown at the time. However, the airline decided to discontinue the service in 2017 due to the negative impact that it would have on the environment if it continued to fly the route.

People's originally launched under the name 'People's Viennaline', but changed its name when it rebranded in 2018.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
