VIENNA (Reuters) - 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 Group.

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

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