From Vienna, you can reach the airport easily and comfortably in several ways. From the Vienna airport train station, it’s just a short indoor walk to the terminal building. Step-free access is also available.
Check in while still in the city centre and drop off your baggage in the City Air Terminal at Wien Mitte/Landstraße station.
CAT (City Airport Train)
The City Airport Train or CAT rail shuttle takes passengers from the city centre directly to Vienna Airport in just 16 minutes. The trains travel from Wien Mitte-Landstraße Station to the airport and back every half-hour. Passengers won’t even need to wait until they get to the airport to check in for their flight - they will be able to do so at the City Air Terminal itself, using check-in counters and self-service terminals provided at Wien Mitte-Landstraße, 75 minutes or more before their flight departs.
To ensure you reach your flight not just as quickly as possible but also as comfortably, you can drop your luggage off at the City Air Terminal. From there, it is taken directly to the airport and loaded onto your flight. To find out whether or not the airline you’re travelling with supports the Check-In service at Wien Mitte-Landstraße, go to the "Services" section of the City Airport Trains website.
ÖBB Vorteilscard holders get 50% off tickets for the City Airport Train. The CAT is even cheaper for families, as children up to the age of 15 travel for free, and passengers can enjoy the convenience of checking their baggage at the City Check-In at the CAT Terminal in central Vienna. Holders of a Klimaticket Ö also receive a 50% discount. For tickets and prices, visit: cityairporttrain.com
