About this route

Route overview

BTS -> VIE is the shortest inter-airport route in Central Europe: 55 km and 50 min - 1 h 15 min of driving. Bratislava and Vienna are close sisters — the two closest capital cities in the world after Vatican and Rome. We leave BTS on the Austrian A6 via the Berg border (Schengen, no checks), then the A4 and A23 ring road into Schwechat. VIE is a long-haul Austrian Airlines hub: direct flights to Tokyo Haneda (ANA, Austrian), Bangkok, Singapore, Toronto, Newark (United), Chicago (American), Washington, Beijing. A cheap BTS arrival and an intercontinental VIE departure without a Vienna stopover is a typical pattern. Price EUR 280 for a Mercedes E-Class (1-3 passengers) — the cheapest a2a in our network. V-Class from EUR 360 for 4-6. The bottlenecks are the A23 and the Schwechat approach during 7-9 and 16-19 peak hours (15-20 min). The service runs 24/7. We recommend a 2 hour buffer for European departures, 3 hours for long-haul.

Best for

Most common use cases

  • Long-haul connection passengers: a low-cost flight into BTS and a continuation out of VIE on Austrian, ANA to Tokyo or United to Newark — when BTS has no direct long-haul
  • Travellers staying in Bratislava instead of Vienna (cheaper, old-town atmosphere) with a morning VIE departure
  • Misconnects after a delayed flight into BTS when the last VIE departure has gone — a full hotel and transfer package for the next morning

VIE -> BTS is the shortest inter-airport route in Europe: 55 km and 50 min - 1 h of driving. Vienna and Bratislava are close sisters — the two closest capital cities in the world after Vatican and Rome. We leave VIE on the Austrian A4 through Schwechat, A6 to the Berg border (Schengen, no checks) and Slovak D2 into Stefanik. BTS is a strong Wizz Air and Ryanair base across Europe (Tel Aviv, Dubai, Kyiv, Milan, London, Barcelona, Sofia, Belgrade), often significantly cheaper than VIE. The route is popular for Vienna + Bratislava combos (1-2 days) and for connection passengers: a long-haul arrival into VIE and a low-cost Wizz Air continuation out of BTS. Price EUR 280 for a Mercedes E-Class (1-3 passengers) — the cheapest a2a in our network. V-Class from EUR 360 for 4-6. Bottleneck is the A23 around Vienna during 7-9 and 16-19 peak hours (up to 15 min). The service runs 24/7, so we also handle overnight and early BTS departures. We recommend a 2 hour buffer before a Stefanik departure.
