After in-flight entertainment, drinks and duty-free shopping, voting for your president in the air is all part of the service for Austria's national carrier Austrian Airlines.

The airline will offer Austrian citizens the chance to vote in April 25 presidential elections while cruising at 900 kph as long as they have with them the card that allows voting in places other than their voting center.

"The voting procedure must take place outside Austrian airspace," the airline said in a statement on Tuesday. "Our stewards will happily serve as voting witnesses".

Austrian has offered voting facilities during previous national and presidential elections, and although not all passengers had voted, the airline saw it as a little extra that added to the service.
