Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Vienna is during the shoulder seasons, April-May or September-October. The weather is pleasant, and there are fewer tourists compared to the summer months. Christmas markets in December are also a major draw.
