Boards at. Wien Hauptbahnhof, platforms 3 to 12 — the REX train towards Schwechat and the airport

An ordinary VOR single covering the airport and the Vienna core zone. The airport sits outside the core zone, so a Vienna city ticket will not do — and the two halves bought separately (EUR 2.30 plus EUR 2.40) come to less than the through fare and are not valid for it.

Luggage. A regional train, with racks at the carriage ends.

Hours. Every 30 minutes, taking 22 to 23 minutes.

The REX7 and S7 both arrive on platform 3A, two levels below the arrivals hall. Take the lift, escalator or stairs up to reach check-in at Terminal 3, an easy walk from Terminal 1.

Taxis to the airport

No fixed fare covers this ride. The Schwechat tariff applies only within the municipality of Schwechat, and Vienna's own tariff is a meter with no airport rate, so any licensed taxi in the city can take you but the fare runs on the clock.
