About flights to Vienna

Overview

Vienna pairs imperial grandeur with world-class music and Europe's most civilised café culture, all a short hop from the UK. Austria's capital sits on the Danube and works equally well as a long-weekend break or a relaxed week away. Flights from London to Vienna are frequent and competitively priced year-round, and the compact, walkable centre means you can be sipping a melange within an hour of landing. Whether you come for the Christmas markets, the galleries or the gardens of Schönbrunn, cheap flights to Vienna are easy to find with a little planning.

Best time to fly to Vienna

Spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to October) are the sweet spot: mild weather, lighter crowds and better-value fares. Summer is warm and lively, though July and August can feel humid. Late November and December bring festive markets and strong demand, so book early. January and February are cold, quiet and often cheapest. See the When to book chart above for how prices shift across the year.

Airlines and routes

British Airways and Austrian Airlines fly direct from London Heathrow, while easyJet serves Vienna from Gatwick, Luton, Bristol, Manchester and Edinburgh. Ryanair and Wizz Air run low-cost routes from Stansted, Luton and several regional airports. A direct flight from London takes about 2 hours 15 minutes; from Manchester it is roughly 2 hours 30 minutes. Connecting via Frankfurt, Munich or Amsterdam with Lufthansa or KLM adds options from smaller UK airports, usually at the cost of an extra hour or two.

Things to do in Vienna

Most highlights sit within walking distance or a short U-Bahn ride of the historic centre, itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Schönbrunn Palace: the Habsburgs' summer residence, with vast formal gardens and a hilltop Gloriette.
St Stephen's Cathedral: Vienna's Gothic landmark, with a patterned tiled roof and tower views across the rooftops.
Belvedere: a baroque palace complex housing Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss".
Hofburg: the sprawling imperial palace, home to the Sisi Museum and the Spanish Riding School.
Prater: a large public park with the famous Giant Ferris Wheel, the Riesenrad.

At Vienna International Airport (VIE)

Vienna International Airport (Flughafen Wien-Schwechat) lies about 18 km south-east of the centre. The City Airport Train (CAT) runs non-stop to Wien Mitte in around 16 minutes, while the S7 suburban train covers the same route more slowly for far less. Vienna Airport Lines coaches serve several city districts, and a taxi or pre-booked transfer takes 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Vienna

Book roughly six to twelve weeks ahead for the best short-haul fares, and use the price charts on this page to time it.
Fly midweek — Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually cheaper than weekends.
Keep your dates flexible and avoid school holidays and the December market season.
Compare low-cost and full-service airlines, factoring in baggage fees before you decide.

Travel essentials

UK passport holders do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period; your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure and issued within the last ten years. The EU's ETIAS travel authorisation is expected to apply to UK visitors during 2026, so check the latest advice before booking. Austria uses the euro, with cards accepted almost everywhere and cash handy for traditional coffee houses and market stalls. Carry a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) alongside travel insurance.

Baggage

Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Vienna

Your allowance to Vienna depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.

Typical hand and checked baggage allowance by fare type for flights to Vienna.
Fare type	Hand baggage	Checked baggage
Basic / Light economy	1 small under-seat bag	Usually none — add for a fee
Standard economy	1 cabin bag + 1 personal item	Typically 1 × 23 kg
Premium economy	1–2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 23 kg
Business / First	2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 32 kg

Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.

Packing & baggage tips

Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
