Cheap flights Liverpool to Vienna

April is the cheapest month on this route, so if your plans are flexible, aim for spring. Fares rise through the summer and stay high over the Advent weeks, when Vienna's Christmas markets draw crowds, and again around New Year. Midweek flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually quieter and kinder to your budget than Friday or Sunday departures, and the window after the Easter holidays tends to be calm. Book well ahead for the Christmas period; for spring and autumn, watching the price calendar for a dip works well.

Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names on this route, so read the fare rules closely and check what is included before you compare totals. Aer Lingus and Emerald Airlines are the full-service and regional carriers here, while Loganair Limited usually shows up on connecting itineraries rather than nonstop ones. Qatar Airways is the long-haul option, and its flights connect through its hub instead of flying you straight to Vienna, so allow for a longer day. If you want a direct flight, filter for nonstop results and see which of these carriers operates on the day you want.

Vienna's airport is Schwechat Intl, which sits outside the city and is linked to the centre by suburban rail, a faster express train, buses and taxis. The train is the usual pick and brings you in near the centre, where you can change to the U-Bahn; the bus takes longer and stops at a different part of town. Give yourself extra time on the way home, as security queues at Schwechat get long in summer and around the Christmas markets. If you land late, check the last train and bus times before you commit to an evening arrival.
