In recent years Austrian Airlines, the country's national carrier, has become a major force in affordable flights all over Europe, and they connect the city with key destinations in North America, Africa, and Asia as well.

Airfare to Vienna

Flights to Vienna are rarely as cheap as those to London, Paris, Frankfurt, or Amsterdam, but frequent promotions bring them into a reasonable level. If airfares are higher than you are expecting it might be worth checking for a flight into one of the major cities listed above and then a separate flight on a low-cost airline from there. Summer is definitely peak travel season into Vienna so if you are planning on travelling then it's best to buy as early as possible.

Flight information for Vienna Airport

Vienna International Airport is located 18 km southeast of the city center, and it's by far the busiest airport in Austria. There are currently 2 main terminals and another wing for low-cost carriers, as well as a new terminal being built that will help the airport accept more long-haul traffic. At the moment most flights come from within a fairly short range within Europe, but that should change with the new facilities.
