Vienna International Airport (VIE) is Austria’s main international gateway and typically serves as the city’s premium hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers like Austrian Airlines and many global and low-cost operators. Located about 18 km southeast of the historic center, it can be reached in roughly 20–30 minutes by City Airport Train or S-Bahn (fares usually around €3–€14 depending on service), while taxis and airport shuttles take about 20–40 minutes and cost more. The airport is generally modern and well-signposted, offering good transfer facilities and lounges, but peak times can mean longer queues and higher on-site prices compared with city options.
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) is Hungary’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s premium hub, handling full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike. Legacy carriers and several budget operators commonly offer routes across Europe and beyond, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid‑range depending on carrier and season. The airport is about 16–20 km southeast of the city center; travellers usually commute by the 100E airport bus (35–45 minutes, modest fare), regional bus or suburban rail plus a short transfer (40–60 minutes), and taxis or ride-shares (30–40 minutes, higher cost). Pros are a compact terminal layout and good low-cost connectivity; cons can include peak-time crowds and occasional longer waits for ground transport.
