Route on the map
When to fly
November has the lowest demand for this corridor and fares drop accordingly. Prices remain reasonable through October, December, January, February, March, April, May and August because this is not a primary leisure route. School holidays in China drive higher volumes during summer months when families travel together. Booking mid-week avoids weekend surcharges that appear on some carriers.
Airlines and what to expect
Scoot operates as the only low-cost carrier on this list and charges separately for seat selection and checked luggage. Lucky Air, Kunming Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and Hainan Airlines all bundle standard baggage in their economy fares. China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Air China provide full-service connections through Beijing or Shanghai hubs. Every option requires a transfer since no direct service exists between these cities.
Arriving — Vienna
You land at Vienna Schwechat International Airport outside the city center. Public trains connect the terminal to downtown stations within forty minutes without transfers. Taxis wait near arrivals but require careful route planning if you carry heavy luggage. Keep your passport and boarding pass ready for customs checks before exiting immigration control.
