By Plane, Bratislava

In the old days, getting to Bratislava by air meant changing in Prague for a noisy connecting flight on an old Russian turboprop. Nowadays, SkyEurope Airlines flies to more than 25 destinations - including Copenhagen, Warsaw, Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Dublin and London - from its hub in the Slovakian capital. The airline has obviously copied the Ryanair model and has been offering lowcost travel in Boeing 737 aircraft since it first took to the skies in 2002.

Bratislava is about an hour's drive from Vienna. So if you want to see another Central European capital while you're there, you may take a train or a shuttle bus (I am told there is a regular service).
But if you want to fly to Bratislava from other European countries, try the inexpensive Slovakian airline, Sky Europe.

The flight company Sky Europe Airlines is a low airfare company and offers flight tickets to destinations as: Prague, Zürrich, Suttgart, Berlin, London, Paris, Milano...
The best prices from EUR 100,- (return ticket).

The best way to come by low cost carriers as SkyEurope, easyjet and ryanair landing in BTS- Bratislava, Ivanka - Airport of M.R Stefanik.

or

landing at Vienna's Schwechat Airport, you can either take a coach to Bratislava - Mlynske Nivy - Main Coach station (the tickets are available at the airport and cost app. 100 ATS) or a taxi which would cost you about 2,000 SKK. The airport is about 50 minutes ride from Bratislava.
walk !!!

As an alternative means of flying to Bratislava, Vienna's airport is much better served and is only an hour away across the border. Regular buses run from Vienna Airport to Bratislava. You can take either the Eurolines bus from the departure area, or the Post Bus from the arrivals area. For more information check out the website below.

Vienna has direct connections to North America, Africa, Asia and most of Europe, so it's very accessible.

It's not the busiest airport in the world, but it's growing every year. It's best served by two of the biggest budget airlines in Europe, Ryan Air and Sky Europe, both of which use Bratislava as a hub. Ryan Air flies mostly to the big population centres in the UK, like Birmingham and Bristol, and Sky Europe flies Slovaks to the big resorts and a few major capitals.

Of the bigger airlines, Czech Republic also flies to Prague, and interestingly Aeroflot still flies to and from Moscow. I don't think Slovakia has a national airline, but Air Slovakia does take that name and runs charter flights.

Getting to and from the airport is relatively easy. Just take Bus 61 from the station. It runs about every 15 minutes, and takes about 20 minutes to get to the airport. The airport itself is quite small, so you won't get lost trying to find the departure lounge.

Bratislava is easily accesbile via air transport. Two of Europe’s leading low-cost airlines, Ryanair and SkyEurope, have services to many other euopean cities. Thanks to Bratislava’s proximity to Vienna, the number of destinations served from Bratislava is high - almost every larger city in europe is served by those two airlines. If your city is not among the destinations, also the classic european carriers as well as Air Slovakia have flights to Bratislava.

Bus #61 connects the airport with the main train station which is close to the city center. A trip takes a little more than half an hour and was ridiculously cheap.
