    Airport Wien Schwechat
    by Fam.Rauca
    As well as most European airlines which offer services to the Austrian capital, there are also three Austrian-based airlines: Austrian Airlines, Lauda Air, and Tyrolean Airways, which offer flights from Europe and the US

    Airport Wien Schwechat
    Vienna’s international airport is 20 km. (12, 5 miles) southeast of the city. Taxis to the centre cost about € 32.00; the airport bus costs € 5.80.
    A commuter train on the S7 line also operates between 5 am and 10:15 pm and is a cheaper option at € 2.00.

    I arrived and left Vienna by plane. Vienna's International airport is located in Schwechat; about 18 km southeast of Vienna. It is the main hub of Austrian Airlines, but also served by many other airlines.
    The best and cheapest way to get to town is by the suburban train S7 which is almost as quick as the overpriced City Airport Train (CAT). Please note that the Airport Station is located just outside the central public tranportation zone, therefore you need a ticket which covers two zones.

    Catch the airport bus here.

    On arrival at Vienna Airport, you have several options for travelling to the city: taxi, city airport train “CAT”, and airport bus. My suggestion is that you take the airport bus which is least expensive and entirely adequate: these have tour bus style seating, probably every bit as comfortable as the aircraft you just left, and ample space beneath for your luggage. The service runs from 0600 on a half hour frequency and will take you to the Westbahnhof or the Sudbahnhof, where you can connect with the urban transport system.

    Finding the bus stop at the airport is not difficult, but in a major transport interchange such as the Sudbahnhof it may be less simple to find on your return to the airport. Seek out that blue aircraft sign in the photo and you’re there: it’s probably best to just ask! Best of all, you’ll find when you catch the bus that the fare is only 6€.

    Via the website if Divantoura, a Belgium travel agency from Gent, I booked an open jaw flight. So first from Brussels to Vienna and then a return flight from Prague to Brussels.

    The price was 200 euro (taxes included).

    As we were driving to Brussels national Airport, I had doubts about the departure time as the re was a thick fog over the Brussels region. But no problem at all, there was no delay.

    The flight time was only 1h35, a rather short flight. So there was only time for a small lunch box filled with cake and some candy.

    As we arrived in the Vienna Schwechat airport it was very busy, so maybe it was rush hour I the sky. Maybe that was the reason we needed to wait for about a half an hour before we got our luggage.

    All international flights to Vienna go to Wien-Schwechat Flughafen. The airport is located outside the city, about 18km away. All major airlines service the airport. Not one American airline company flies to Vienna, but their partner companyies do.

    Transportation into the city is cheapest by the S7 Flughafen / Wolfsthal tram, which will end at Wien Mitte, a short U-Bahn ride to the center.

    Cost is 3 Euro

    The ride takes 30 minutes and leaves every 30 minutes from 5 to 21:30

    I flew to Vienna with the wonderful Austrian Airlines. Great service (food/snacks have to be paid for) but tea and coffee are complimentary with a free chocolate wafer.

    I really enjoyed this flight as they show the plane's route on a screen above your seat so you know exactly where you are, the altitude, speed, temperature etc etc. at any given time.

    On the way out there I chatted to a very nice and helpful Austrian girl who told me about the CAT train (it actually sounded like the C80 train -so there was a little bit of confusion - but only for a minute :))

  • After arriving at Vienna's airport Schwechat, which is approx. 15 kilometres away from the city centre, your best option is to take the airport bus. We took the bus to Westbahnhof because it was close to our hostel. Before reaching Westbahnhof the same bus stops at Ostbahnhof, too. There's a connection to Schwedenplatz, too. This would be your best option if you want to go straight into the city centre.

    The airport bus leaves every 30 minutes and costs 6 EUR. From the airport to Schwedenplatz it takes approx. 20 minutes, to Ostbahnhof approx. 25 minutes and to Westbahnhof 35 minutes.

    On the way back to the airport better take a bus earlier than the one you really have to take in order to be in time for your flight. The busses get stuck in traffic easily on the ring road.

    The CAT is the fastest and one of the most convenient ways to get to the airport, but not really worth the money unless you are in a big hurry as the ride takes only 16 minutes. Once in the CAT station it is a pretty long walk to the check-in counters and the gates. The price is 9 EUR/person (if you buy online it is only 8 EUR) for a comfortable ride in a very nice, modern train. The regional trains run the same route as the CAT to the airport, but they make many more stops. The other benefit of the CAT, other then saving time, is that you can get your airline tickets and check your luggage at the station in downtown, rather than waiting in line at the airport.
