Vienna International Airport (VIE) is the city’s main long‑haul and European hub, handling a mix of full‑service carriers (Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, major network partners) and seasonal low‑cost flights. Located about 18 km southeast of the historic centre, it’s typically seen as a full‑service international gateway rather than a budget base. Travel times to the city center range from roughly 16–25 minutes by Railjet or City Airport Train, and around 25–40 minutes by S‑bahn, taxi or car; fares for public transport usually fall in the range of modest single‑ticket prices, while taxis can be notably more expensive. Pros: fast rail links, good transfer facilities and many onward connections. Cons: can be busy during peak periods and fares for taxis and airport services are often higher than in the city.

The cost of a one-way flight from Vienna to Dresden ranges from $160 (September 2026) to $256 (April 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $206–$457.

Dresden Airport (DRS) functions mainly as a regional and low-cost gateway to Saxony rather than a major intercontinental hub, handling mostly European leisure and business traffic. You’ll typically find flights from carriers such as Eurowings, Ryanair, Lufthansa and seasonal charter operators, with fares often competitive compared with larger German hubs. The airport sits about 9–12 km north of Dresden’s historic centre; taxi rides usually take 20–30 minutes, while the S-Bahn line S2 connects the terminal to the main station in roughly 20 minutes with modest ticket prices. Pros: compact terminal, quick walk times and convenient rail link. Cons: fewer long-haul options and limited late‑night services compared to bigger airports.
