Cheap flights from Bristol to Vienna

December is the cheapest month on this route, and it suits anyone who does not mind travelling in the cold. Fares are listed across most of the year, from September through to August, so you can compare a spring break with a summer trip. Weekends and school holidays push prices up; midweek departures usually cost less. Book a few weeks ahead for the quieter months, and book earlier still if you want December, when seats go quickly.

Easyjet is the low-cost option here: the fare buys your seat and a small cabin bag, and you pay extra for a checked bag, a chosen seat or food on board. British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Aer Lingus sit at the full-service end, where more baggage comes with the ticket. Emerald Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Sun Express, Edelweiss Air and Pegasus tend to appear on connecting itineraries through their own hubs rather than on the nonstop. Check whether you are buying one ticket or two, because that decides who looks after you if a leg is delayed.

Your flight lands at Schwechat Intl, the airport that serves Vienna from outside the city rather than in it. It is the only airport for the Austrian capital on this route, so there is no second arrival point to weigh up. Trains run between the airport and the centre, and there are buses and taxis as well; the express rail link is the quickest of them if your hotel is near the main station. Allow time for the transfer on the way back, since the airport sits beyond the city limits and traffic into town can be slow at peak hours.
