Vienna Airport Lines – , Flughafenbus d Öbb

First off, it’s really easy to get to the airport. You just take the CAT and you’re there! We paid for a return trip ticket (it’s only good for 48 hours, but that’s all the time we had in Vienna anyways, so it was worth it) and were able to get from the airport to the metro, ride the metro around for the time we needed too, and then within our 48 hour limit we returned to the airport in good time to catch our plane.
The bummer is once you’re there, you have to walk a mile worth of halls to get to the checkin area, and there are two, which is weird. But it was easy to find and get to, no problem. While we waited for the counter to open, we stopped by a restaurant and got drinks and something to eat for our flight. We sat out on the patio, and while the weather is gorgeous, we did have to move because of smokers. It’s like everyone smokes in Europe, what is up with that?
Anyways, it was a decent airport. Clean, easy to navigate, but like all international flights, give yourself plenty of time to get there. Better safe than sorry.

The bus is still the best option to get to the Vienna West train station, and it’s relatively cheap. Depending on traffic, it can take a long time.
Drivers aren’t particularly friendly or helpful. English is spoken only if pressured, and unwillingly. They seem to enjoy to show off that they are from Vienna, and you better adapt to their culture or die. Not quite the right attitude for an airport shuttle.
