Vienna International Airport terminal guideAirport Guide
Vienna Airport lies about 18 km from the city centre, handles around 33 million passengers a year and is Austria's only international hub. Its three terminals stand in a row: T1 and T2 serve Schengen flights, while T3 (the Skylink section completed in 2012) is the main building for long-haul international traffic — see a gate beginning with F or G and you know you are in T3.
The three terminals
| Code | Name | Main flights |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | Terminal 1 | Schengen flights and some carriers |
| T2 | Terminal 2 | Schengen flights |
| T3 | Terminal 3 | Mainly long-haul international and non-Schengen flights |
Working out where you are going:
- Schengen flights are mostly in T1 / T2; non-Schengen and intercontinental flights are mostly in T3.
- The three buildings are connected indoors and can be walked between; check-in desks are divided by airline and gates by destination.
Our diagram draws the three terminals as a row of connected buildings, precisely to make the point that in Vienna you do not need to set aside extra time for a change of building.
Transfers and connections
- All three are under one roof and transfers run smoothly; 45–60 minutes is usually enough for a Schengen-to-Schengen connection.
- Moving between Schengen and non-Schengen flights means passport control, so allow more than 1.5 hours.
- Austrian Airlines (Lufthansa Group) has its hub here, so a high proportion of passengers are connecting and the signage is clear.

Getting into Vienna
- City Airport Train (CAT) — 16 minutes direct to Wien Mitte, where you can change to the metro and the S-Bahn, and the fastest option.
- S-Bahn line S7 — about 25 minutes to Wien Mitte at roughly a third of the CAT fare, and the best value.
- Airport bus — direct to the city centre and towards Westbahnhof.
- Taxi — about 18 km, around 25 minutes when the traffic is clear.
Practical tips
- To save money, take the S-Bahn S7: only a few minutes slower than the CAT and far cheaper; once in the city it uses the same tickets as the metro.
- Vienna sits in the middle of Europe and is a convenient starting point for Bratislava, Budapest and other neighbouring capitals, with frequent intercity coaches and trains.
- Schengen visas and Austrian entry rules follow the Schengen regime, so if you are connecting on to a non-Schengen country, check whether you need a transit visa.
