[@sabrina6942]

Thank you so much! very informative video and straight forward. Do you maybe have any recommendations to travel from Vienna Airport to Salzburg. I was looking into the OBB train, should I book the ticket before hand on their website? and I my flight should arrive at 9.30am and the train leaving at 10.30am, is there enough time ? Thank you!

[@jasonmckenzie3146]

Great video Grete, we are coming to Vienna in April via train from Budapest, will we be arriving at the Hauptbahnhof Wien? I’m pretty sure, my question is, one ticket non stop to the airport from our arrival point and do they have the same machines at Hauptbahnhof Wien? It was great to see your video at a time when I had this question, thank you 🙏

[@aroundtheworld8159]

Hello! Thank you for the amazing video. Could you advise please,what is the best route from the airport to Mariahilferstraße? Thank you

[@dominickrakowski6512]

Thank you for the helpful video. If you take the S7 or the OBB and need to take a ubahn to the final desitnation will you need to pay again for the ubahn ticket? Thanks.

[@krasimirpetrov7933]

Nice! Do I need to validate the ticket or just catch the train?

Hi Grete ! Is there a long distance train from Vienna airport to London or not , I wish to explain how to book and what are the procedures . I love ur videos

[@pazovackiputnikglobetrotte1712]

Awesome video! In July I will go from Vienna Airport with OBB Railjet to Linz. Do I need to buy tickets online early in advance or I can buy OBB Railjet ticket when I arrive at the airport? Will the OBB Railjet ticket price be more expensive in July when I arrive at the airport? Also how do I validate OBB Railjet tickets? Before I enter the train or the conductor will validate the ticket in the train? Thanks!

[@alisahwang7674]

Thank you so much for the information. If I would like to go to the hotel Imperial from the airport which train line will be the best option?

[@mykhailokopyt9006]

Hi! Thank you for such a useful video! I have a question, is it necessary to register or somehow check in an ÖBB ticket directly on the train, or do you just buy it in one of those vending machines and you're good to go?

[@gretetheaustrianguide]

Hi there! You can book the ticket online in advance for the öbb train. But it is not necessary. And honestly I would not recommend it, since sometimes the planes are delayed or it takes longer to pick up the luggage. -So it could happen that you miss the train you booked the ticket for. I would just buy the tickets at the vending machines and take the next train :) If you plan to go to Vienna you can also check out the Videos on my other channel.

Excellent video. Thank you. I'm planning to visit Vienna in December. My flight back is in the early morning, so I'll have to use a taxi. I know there is a shuttle bus from the Westbahnhof, but my hotel in very close to Rennweg train station, Savoyen hotel. What is the best way to order a taxi? And, may be, there is another way to reach the airport? (the flight is at 6:00)/ Thanks.

[@chaitumahi08]

Hi, thanks for the info,very useful. I am coming for a day trip to Vienna from London. Is there any day travel card I can take from airport, which include airport transfers as well Thanks

[@giuseppeforesta6904]

Hi Greta, thanks for the information!!! I will be going to Vienna next Saturday 20/04. Once I arrive at the airport, I’ll go to Vienna centre and so I’ll buy from a ticket machine OBB two tickets, one additional ticket for the borders of Vienna and one for 48 hours. Do I need to validate the 48 hours ticket or not? If yes, can I validate it at the airport station? Please let me know, thanks!!

[@nicklevy793]

Be careful when buying a ticket for the Schnellbahn S7. I went to Vienna last week. I ticked the senior ticket as I am 66. I was told by a ticket inspector that I had the wrong ticket. I apparently should have had a Vorteilscard. Which I wouldn't have known about as it was my first visit to Vienna. I got fined 105 euros. The inspector wasn't interested that it was accidental. The only place I saw an inspector was on the journey to Vienna and at the end of my holiday back to the airport. I feel there is an element of catching the tourist here. On the way back to the airport there were 3 German speaking guys who had the wrong ticket. The inspector didn't fine them but told them to get off at the next station. Be warned. Lovely city though!

[@gretetheaustrianguide]

Thank you for this helpful addition to the video! Discounts can indeed be tricky to navigate. There is more information on the ÖBB website about the discounts they offer (Information in English): www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten

[@cobbieism]

You should make more vdo

[@gsw88888]

Excellent, Grete! My family/I will visit Vienna 4/9/23 - 4/15/23 and we will stay with Hotel Am Schubertring located at Schubertring 11, 1010 Wien, Austria. Based on what I saw from your video, it seems that we can buy tickets to take S7 from the airport to Wien Mitte and walk for about 14 minutes to the hotel. May you kindly advise if this scenario would be effective? Many thanks!

[@tallto]

Thanks for the info. How would I get from Vienna airport to Pilgramgasse station?

[@RG.......]

Hi thanks for sharing! Is the VAL 1 bus reliable from Westbahnhof to Airport? I have an early morning flight to catch. Also the VAL website does not sell tickets for specific bus, you can buy and jump onto any bus in 48 hours. There were reviews that the bus is running late etc.

[@WrldVoyagr]

It would be helpful to highlight the further price advantage of S7/ÖBB over the CAT in that the ticket allows further connections within the Vienna zone on metro, tram and bus. For CAT you would need an additional ticket.

[@gretetheaustrianguide]

Thank you for the helpful comment!

[@user-jg2um9nf2v]

So if I get the OBB train from the airport to the central railway station(for example) for 4.20 euro I can then take bus or metro with the same ticket?

[@WrldVoyagr]

@@user-jg2um9nf2v Yes, if you stay within the city zone. The ticket has a time limit (I think 90 minutes). You can select your destination from the ÖBB ticket machine at the airport if you want to be absolutely sure about the price and validity.

[@stephanweinberger]

@@user-jg2um9nf2v Yes (albeit the price has increased to 4.40€ by now). A single ticket for two zones (Airport-Schwechat is the outer tariff zone, from Schwechat everything is the Vienna city zone) is valid for one trip in one direction, including changes (but not going backwards or in circles). You can even mix a single-trip (to get into the city) and eg. 24-hour ticket (within the city); there should be options on the ticket machines if I remember correctly. (Else: just get single ticket to "Schwechat" and an eg. 24h for the city zone.)

[@hanamednanska3635]

Hello, can I get a ticket for the OBB train from the Airport to Breclav in the Czech Republic as a connection trip? Thank you for such a good video.

[@tahabenarbia9618]

Thanks for this important video, please why not exist train from Vienna main station to klagenfurt at early morning, first train departs at 8 AM, thanks again for help

[@yankie1983]

Nice video. Liked the comparison screen. Is the su included in the 7 day travel card ?

[@gretetheaustrianguide]

This is a bit complicated: The airport is outside of vienna. If you take the S7 you obviously have to pay for the full distance. If you already have a ticket or travel pass for Vienna you only have to pay for the small part of the route, that is outside of vienna. At the ticket vending machine you can select the option, that you already have a ticket for Vienna. This will reduce the price for the ticket to (or from) the airport.

[@yankie1983]

Thank you so much.

[@yogitasachdeva6045]

Hi Grete, your video has cleared many doubts, thanks for that! Now I want to know, if I have the Vienna City Card does it include my travel from airport to airbnd (knollgasse/davidgasse) via tram ?

[@gretetheaustrianguide]

Hi! It depends, which city card you bought and also which option. There ist an additional option for the airport transfer (22 EUR) if you choose the "Vienna City Card"

[@RobertSochan]

It should be added that if you have the Wiener Linien all-day ticket (which can be purchased online or at the airport at the ÖBB desk, and which is valid on all public transport services in Vienna), a ticket for the Schnellbahn is even cheaper, less than €2, up to the first station within Vienna, Wien Kaiserebersdorf - payment for the rest of the route is included in the Wiener Linien all-day ticket. Greetings to Greta, the guide in my favourite tourist destination, an der schönen blauen Donau!

[@gretetheaustrianguide]

Thank you for the helpful addition!

[@RobertSochan]

@@gretetheaustrianguideIt's my pleasure.
