Flights To Vienna Austria

As a frequent traveller to Vienna I always watch out for good deals to go back to my hometown.

There are almost 70 airlines offering several hundred flights from more than 170 places world wide to Vienna each week, among them low cost carriers such as AirBerlin, Germanwings and easyJet, as well as regular carriers, from Aeroflot and Air China to US Airways.

My tip: Priceline Flights lets you select your exact flight and time, or you can name your own price.

This page includes my chosen flight search tool Vayama that I use to find the best Vienna airfare. In addition, you get tips on what to see and do if you have a layover in Vienna.

Flight And Hotel Deals

Vienna vacation packages or discount offers are rarely advertised.

However, depending on the season, you can get good value deals for a combined flight and hotel. Usually, vacation packages for Vienna include flight and hotel, with an option to add car rental.

Alternatively to booking flights to Vienna International Airport you can get cheap flights to Bratislava Milan Rastislav Stefanik airport, which is only 64 km from Vienna. The airport serves flights from Paris, London, Barcelona, Milan, Dublin, Edinburgh and other cities.

The Austrian Postbus, in co-operation with Slovak Lines Express, offers a shuttle service from Bratislava airport to Vienna, which takes two hours.

Layover In Vienna

If you have a layover in Vienna, even as short as three hours, it is worth visiting the city. Vienna International Airport is just 12 kilometres from Vienna. You can take the City Airport Train, which operates at intervals of around 30 min, to Wien Mitte, which is a 10 minutes walk from the city centre. Go to Vienna Walks for some suggestions on self guided walks.

If you want to get the most out of your time in Vienna, there is a special guided Vienna Layover Tour. Your guide will tailor the sightseeing to your available time and will know exactly when to drop you back at the airport.

Arriving At Vienna

Vienna International Airport is located 12 km south east of the city and runs three terminals and two runways (a third is being discussed).

I love travelling home by plane, whether I come in from the northwest (London) or southwest (Portugal). When flying there, get your camera ready for a few nice shots. If you arrive from the West to South West (not London, unfortunately) you may get the pleasure of flying over the Austrian Alps. If you come in from the East, you will likely notice a big lake right before you arrive in Vienna. This is Lake Neusiedl, one of the few veld lakes in Europe and World Heritage Site due to its stunning wetland wildlife.
