The constraint on this route

Vienna is served by Austrian and the rest of the Lufthansa group, which allows one of the roomiest carriers: 55 x 40 x 23 cm. Watch mixed itineraries though: on a leg operated by SWISS or Austrian, that airline's rules apply — and they are not identical even within the same group.
