Vienna airport to Vienna Südbahnhof Bstg. 1-9

Hi

Can you please let me know how far is the Vienna ariport from Südbahnhof Bstg. 1-9 ? How long does it take to get there and how much does it cost? We should be landing at 15.00 and the train to Bratislava leaves at 16.30 from Südbahnhof Bstg. 1-9 . Will I make it?

Many thanks.

Südbahnhof is Vienna´s Railway Station South and it takes about 20-25 minutes to get there from the airport, by car or Vienna Airport Lines bus (which goes every 20 minutes).

There is a bus at 15:40, which I think should be feasible, and 16:00, from the drop-off at the station it is only 4-5 minutes or so to the platform, but with an estimated arrival at 16:20 and possible heavy traffic, plus unloading of luggage, the later bus is quite a dare if your train to Bratislava leaves at 16:30. Vienna Airport Lines charge 6 EUR one way. A taxi would cost you around 30 EUR, +/- .

Have you considered taking the direct bus from the airport to Bratislava? viennaairport.com/jart/prj3/via/website.jart…

This would save you both time and hassle.

I%26#39;ve checked buses but won%26#39;t be able to get to Bratislava on time to catch another train from Bratislava 17.35 to Kosice. Unfortunately my Skyeurope tickets from london to kosice are not valid anymore, so need to find an alternative way how to get there. Thanks for your help.

The train you speak about (IC 403) actually originates in Vienna at 15:36 hours (ex Railway Station West) and interrupts in Bratislava before proceeding to Kosice. Because of the interruption in Bratislava that totally takes 30 minutes in conjunction with a time-consuming routing through Vienna and Bratislava, it is possible to catch the IC 403 by taking another train from Vienna%26#39;s Railway Station South/East Wing. That%26#39;s the one you refer to. I would recommend to do the following:

Option 1:

If you arrive ahead of time and you can leave the baggage reclaim area before 15:10 hours, then immediately take a taxi to Wien-Meidling Station (1st stop of the IC 403). IC 403 leaves Wien-Meidling at 15:50 hours. In case you miss the train take a local train to Railway Station South and take the REX 2532 as originally intended. If you feel you wouldn%26#39;t arrive on time because of heavy traffic, tell the taxi driver to deviate to Railway Station South and take the REX 2532 as originally intended.

Option 2 (if delayed):

In case of a delay you can still catch your chosen Bratislava-bound train at %26quot;Wien-Simmering Station%26quot;. By a taxi it should not take longer than 15 minutes to get there. The train leaves Wien-Simmering at 16:34 hours.

Option 3:

Take the bus from Vienna Airport to Bratislava Bus Terminal that leaves at 15:30 hours from the bus platforms in front of the arrival hall. Upon leaving the transit area just walk straight ahead and follow the signage showing a bus. From the bus terminal in Bratislava you need to find your way to the main station by (excellent) public transportation or taxi. Be aware that taxi drivers in Bratislava tend to charge a higher fare (especially to Brits!).
