Flight Deals from Washington to Vienna from $547

The flight from Washington to Vienna is about 4,450 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is 8 hours 15 minutes eastbound, while the return from Vienna to Washington takes 9 hours 45 minutes — the westbound leg is longer, as expected with prevailing winds. Austrian Airlines operates this route daily from Dulles to Vienna.

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.

Yes — Austrian Airlines flies non-stop from Washington Dulles to Vienna, operating daily with one departure each day at 17:45. Austrian is currently the only airline scheduled non-stop on this route, and it is a Star Alliance carrier.

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 International Airport offers several ground transportation options into the city center, including the City Airport Train (CAT), the S7 S-Bahn commuter rail, ÖBB Railjet trains, Vienna Airport Lines buses, taxis, and car rentals. The S7 is the cheapest option at around €4.60, while the CAT is the fastest, reaching Wien Mitte in about 16 minutes for a premium fare. Vienna Airport Lines buses run frequently to several city points, with the Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz route taking about 20 minutes. Taxis and pre-booked transfers are available from the arrivals hall, and major car rental brands operate at the airport. The S-Bahn and Railjet are the most used by locals and visitors alike, offering direct connections to Wien Mitte and Hauptbahnhof.

Overnight red-eye flights are available from Washington to Vienna on Austrian Airlines, operating daily from Washington Dulles (IAD). The typical departure is at 5:45 PM, landing in Vienna at 8:10 AM the next morning.

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.

Vienna has one commercial airport, Vienna International Airport, located about 18 km southeast of the city centre. It serves as the hub for Austrian Airlines and offers direct rail connections to downtown.

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is about 26 miles west of downtown Washington, DC, and the fastest, most popular way to reach it from the city center is the Metrorail Silver Line, which runs every 15 minutes and takes about 47 minutes to McPherson Square, costing roughly $2–3. Cheaper bus options include the Washington Flyer Express bus to the metro station for about $5 and Metrobus Route 5A to L'Enfant Plaza for about $6, though these involve transfers and longer travel times. Taxis operate 24 hours a day and cost around $65 with a 30–60 minute trip depending on traffic, while ride-share services like Uber and Lyft offer on-demand pickup and are generally more affordable than taxis. Driving and parking are available at the airport, with rental cars and private car services also offered for those who prefer a dedicated vehicle.

Austrian Airlines operates the nonstop route from Washington to Vienna, using Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The route currently has one carrier scheduled nonstop.

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.

Austrian Airlines is the only airline currently scheduled nonstop between Washington (Dulles) and Vienna, operating a daily flight that departs at 17:45.
