Cheap flights from Inverness to Vienna

Fares drop to their lowest in November, so if your dates are flexible, aim for that month. The price calendar covers September, October, November, December, February and June, which lets you compare a late-autumn trip with a winter one and with early summer. December and June tend to be busier and more expensive because of school holidays and Christmas travel. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, are usually quieter than Friday or Sunday. Book a few months ahead for winter and spring trips, and check the calendar again as your dates firm up.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every option is a connecting itinerary and the mix of carriers matters. Easyjet is the low-cost name here, while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, British Airways and Aer Lingus are full-service, and Loganair Limited covers the regional legs out of Inverness. You may fly one carrier on the first leg and a different one on the second, and each fare sets its own baggage allowance, so compare what is included before you commit. Check whether your bags are through-checked to Vienna or whether you collect them and check in again.

Vienna is served by one main airport, Schwechat Intl, which sits outside the city rather than on its edge. The airport train and the S-Bahn both run into the centre, and buses and taxis cover the same trip if you land late at night. Austria is in the Schengen area while the UK is not, so allow time for passport control after landing, especially when several flights arrive together. If someone is meeting you, agree on a meeting point in the arrivals hall before you fly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the connection airport and the layover length before you book, since a tight change can turn the trip into an overnight.
• Compare the baggage allowance on each leg, because a low-cost fare on the first flight may not include the same bag as the rest of the trip.
• If your legs are on separate tickets, you are responsible for re-checking bags and for any missed connection.
• Carry a valid passport for Austria and check its expiry date against the entry rules for UK travellers.
• Try shifting your dates into November, when fares on this route are at their lowest.
• Confirm whether your bags are checked through to Vienna or whether you collect them at the connection point.
