Flight Deals from Seattle to Vienna from $572

Seattle to Vienna is about 5,390 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no nonstop flights from Seattle to Vienna. The shortest connecting routing is on Condor via Frankfurt, with a 10h 5m flight to Frankfurt, an 1h 20m layover, and an 1h 20m onward flight, totaling 12h 45m. Lufthansa via Frankfurt (13h 25m) is the most common one-stop option, followed by Austrian Airlines via Washington-Dulles at 14h 45m.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Vienna Airport offers several ground transport options into the city center. The fastest is the City Airport Train (CAT), a nonstop 16-minute ride to Wien Mitte station, though it is the most expensive rail choice. The most-used budget option is the S-Bahn S7 commuter line, which reaches the center in about 25 minutes for €4.60. Vienna Airport Lines buses run frequently to Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz, Westbahnhof, and Hauptbahnhof, taking as little as 20 minutes. Taxis, hotel shuttles, and major car rental brands are also available at the arrivals hall.

There are no nonstop red-eyes from Seattle to Vienna, but overnight connections do operate — for example, Austrian Airlines flies the overnight leg from Chicago (departing 16:20, arriving 08:15 the next morning) and from Washington Dulles (departing 17:45, arriving 08:10), with United handling the shorter domestic leg. Air Canada also runs an overnight Toronto–Vienna leg departing 18:00 and arriving 08:20, and Condor flies an overnight Seattle–Frankfurt leg departing 18:05 and arriving 13:10 before connecting onward.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service between Seattle and Vienna. The most common one-stop routings are via Frankfurt on Condor or Lufthansa, via Paris on Air France, and via London on Alaska Airlines or British Airways, with Lufthansa via Frankfurt appearing most frequently at around 19 daily connections. Austrian Airlines also connects through Washington Dulles, Newark, and Chicago with United on the domestic leg. Turkish Airlines offers a routing via Istanbul, while Delta via Amsterdam and Air Canada via Toronto round out the main options.

Vienna has one commercial airport, Vienna International Airport. It is about 18 km southeast of the city centre, reachable by train or bus in roughly 25 minutes. It serves as the hub for Austrian Airlines and handles most international and European routes.

Getting from downtown Seattle to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is easiest via Sound Transit's Link light rail, which makes the trip in about 35–40 minutes and is the most popular and economical option. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as metered taxis, pick up on level 3 of the airport parking garage and take roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, though they cost considerably more than the train. Shared shuttle vans and hotel shuttles serve the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue-Everett corridor for a mid-range price, while driving yourself along I-5 is possible but parking at the airport can be expensive. The light rail is generally the fastest reliable choice given traffic, but a ride-share or taxi is quicker door-to-door if the roads are clear.

There is no nonstop service from Seattle to Vienna. Lufthansa flies the long leg on an Airbus A340-300 via Frankfurt, and Air Canada uses a Boeing 787-8 via Toronto. Austrian Airlines also operates Boeing 787-9s through Washington Dulles, Chicago O'Hare, and Newark, with United and other partners on the shorter segments.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

There is no nonstop service from Seattle to Vienna, so the route is flown as a one-stop connection. Star Alliance is the dominant alliance here, with Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines connecting via Frankfurt plus United and Austrian via East Coast hubs, and Air Canada via Toronto. SkyTeam is represented by Air France through Paris and Delta/KLM through Amsterdam, while oneworld appears through Alaska Airlines and British Airways via London. Condor, a major carrier on the quickest Frankfurt routing, belongs to no alliance.
