Vienna Flights

History, culture, and a thriving underground music scene all combine to make Vienna one of the most beautiful and intriguing cities in the world. Vienna is the capital of Austria and a true cultural gem. For centuries, the Habsburgs held court in Vienna and some of that imperial past is still alive today, especially in the dedication of the Viennese to hosting elegant balls.

Vienna is also a city seeped in culture, much of it centred on an obsession with coffee houses. You can’t really say you’ve been to Vienna if you don’t stop for a heart-pounding espresso and slice of sachertorte, an Austrian type of chocolate cake. This city is filled with amazing things to see, which is why Vienna is often described as “an open air museum.” A few sights you’ll want to check off your bucket list include St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Schönbrunn Palace, and the State Opera House. Fill up on the city’s rich artistic history with a visit to at least a few of the many art museums, such as the Museum of Fine Arts and the Albertina. Lest you think Vienna is trapped in the past, you’ll find that it has a growing nightlife and thriving music scene, too.

Best Time to Travel

Peak Season:

Peak season in Vienna is between June and August when temperatures reach the low 20s and the sun comes out to play. Of course, peak season also means more crowds and higher prices for hotels and tourist activities.

Shoulder Season:

Perhaps the best time to buy tickets to Vienna is actually in the spring or fall. The temperatures fall anywhere between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius—slightly cooler than the summer temperatures—but the crowds are usually smaller.

Off Season:

As the temperature drops in Vienna, so does the rate of tourism, except for December, when many visitors come to experience the fun Christmas markets, known as “Weihnachtsmarkt.” The true off season for this city is between January and March, when temperatures drop to the single digits and below. This is when you’ll have a better chance of finding cheap flights to Vienna.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Vienna?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Vienna holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vienna?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Vienna, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
