Cheap flights from Glasgow to Vienna

Prices on this route move with the season more than with the day of the week. December comes out cheapest in the fare calendar, and it is also the month when Vienna fills up for the festive season, so book well ahead if those dates are your plan. Spring and early autumn are the busiest stretches, with September and October sitting close behind December on price. Midweek departures from Glasgow International tend to undercut Friday and Sunday flights, and January and February are quiet, cold and often good value. If your dates are loose, compare a Tuesday against a Saturday before you commit.

The airline mix on this route is wide. Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names, so expect a bare fare with cabin baggage only and everything else added at checkout. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, British Airways and its CityFlyer arm, Aer Lingus, Emerald Airlines and Air Baltic are full-service, which usually means a checked bag, a seat assignment and a more flexible ticket in the headline fare. Sun Express flies a leisure schedule. Non-stop flights exist, but plenty of itineraries on sale connect through a hub, so look at total journey time rather than the departure hour alone.

Vienna's airport is Schwechat Intl, a short ride southeast of the centre, so the transfer into town is quick whichever option you pick. Commuter rail runs from the station under the terminal, a dedicated airport train covers the same trip with fewer stops, and buses and taxis wait outside arrivals. Trains put you near the main rail stations, which suits hotels in the inner districts. Check what your ticket actually covers, because the city train and the airport express are separate products. On the way home, leave extra room for check-in and security, which queue up at peak departure times.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm whether your fare is non-stop or connects through a hub, since both are sold on this route.
• On Easyjet and Jet2, add a checked bag and a seat when you book rather than at the airport.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave a generous gap, because a missed connection is yours to fix.
• Carry a valid passport and check the entry rules for Austria before you fly, even for a short break.
• December is the cheapest month here, but festive dates go first, so book early if that is your window.
• Coming home from Schwechat Intl, allow time for the transfer from the city to the terminal.
