Vienna to Istanbul

Our flight was at 1905. It took us just 1 hour and 51 minutes to reach Istanbul.

Our flight path

Vienna Lounge

There was no hot food available, only desserts and pastries. The lounge certainly did not live up to our expectations.

Wien-Schwechat Airport

We went to his gate first because his flight to London departed earlier than ours. We then made our way to the Vienna Lounge before our flight.

City Airport Train

We took the City Airport Train to Vienna International Airport. The journey took just 16 minutes.

Buying the tickets
