Cheap flights from Dubai to Vienna

The expensive stretch of the year is usually the summer and the Christmas period, with school holidays and Vienna's winter season in the mix; work back from those peaks and December comes out as the cheapest month in the calendar. January through March sit after the holiday period, while late spring and early autumn fall between the two extremes. Midweek departures are worth checking when your dates are flexible, because a connection can make the total travel day longer than the time in the air. Give yourself room for delays on the first leg, especially if the second leg is the last flight of the day.

Start with what the fare includes and where the extras appear: one ticket may bundle checked baggage and a meal, while another starts with a seat only and charges for bags, seats and food. The carriers on this route are Ajet, Eurowings, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Air Baltic, Oman Air, Pegasus, Aegean Airlines, SalamAir, Turkish Airlines and ITA Airways. All of them run this as a connecting itinerary, since there are no nonstop flights, so compare connection times as well as price. Check the fare rules for each option before choosing, because a lower headline fare can cost more once your bags and seat are added.

You land at Schwechat International Airport, which sits to the southeast of Vienna rather than in the city centre. The usual route into town is by train or bus, with taxis available if you arrive late or have heavy bags. Allow time for the transfer when planning connections or same-day plans, and check which terminal your flight uses before you set off. Vienna's single airport keeps the arrival simple, but the distance means it is not a quick hop from the gate to your hotel.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which departure airport your ticket uses, because Dubai has both Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai International and they are on opposite sides of the city.
• Check what your fare includes before paying for bags, since some carriers charge separately for checked luggage and seat selection.
• Check Austria's entry and transit requirements for your passport and nationality before you book.
• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or separate tickets, because a missed link on separate tickets is your own cost.
• Check December dates first if you are flexible, since that is the cheapest month shown for this route.
