Bratislava Airport to Vienna Airport: route facts
Many travellers land in Bratislava and fly on from Vienna, or the other way round. This is how the transfer between the two airports works.
- Distance and time: about 50 km, usually about 40 minutes.
- Route: from Bratislava Airport along the D4 to the Austrian border at Jarovce – Kittsee, then the A6 and A4 motorways to Schwechat.
- Border: Slovakia and Austria are both in the Schengen area, so there is normally no passport control. Keep your ID or passport with you for random checks.
- Pick-up: the driver waits in the arrivals hall of Bratislava Airport with a name sign and follows your flight.
- Drop-off: at the departures level of Vienna Airport, at the terminal of your airline.
- Plan your connection: leave at least 3 hours between landing in Bratislava and your departure from Vienna for luggage, the drive and check-in.
- No direct train connects the two airports. Buses run between Bratislava and Vienna Airport, but rarely at the times of your flights.
