When to fly
Book several weeks ahead for the best choice of connection times, since every flight changes plane en route. January is the cheapest month shown, while July, August and the December holiday period tend to be busier and dearer. Midweek departures usually leave more options than weekends, and school holidays push demand up on this short domestic route. Check the price calendar for October, November, April and the summer months before fixing dates.
Airlines and what to expect
Lufthansa runs the most options on this route and is a full-service carrier, with BA EuroFlyer, British Airways, Air Serbia, Scandinavian Airlines and Turkish Airlines also selling connecting itineraries. Eurowings is the low-cost choice among them, so its headline fare may exclude bags and seat choice. All listed airlines require at least one change of plane, and on separate tickets you carry the missed-connection risk yourself. Compare what each fare includes before booking.
Arriving — Vienna
From Schwechat Intl the airport express train reaches the centre in around a quarter of an hour, the S-Bahn takes a little longer, and buses and taxis run in roughly half an hour depending on traffic. The airport lies to the southeast of Vienna, so late arrivals need a back-up plan for the transfer. Check which terminal you land at and validate your ticket before boarding local transport. If you connect onward the same day, allow margin for the train journey into town.
