Quick answer: Vienna AirportLines run three express coach routes from VIE: to Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz in the city centre (about a 20-minute ride), to Wien Westbahnhof via Wien Hauptbahnhof, and to Kagran/UNO City and the Donauzentrum. Coaches leave every 30 minutes from the stops directly outside the Arrivals hall, with a fare of about €11.50 (€9.50 online). The train is often faster into the centre; compare in the VIE train guide.
Vienna International Airport is served by Vienna AirportLines, a network of express coaches run by Postbus that link the airport with key points across the city. Unlike a local city bus, these are comfortable express services with luggage space, and they run on their own operator fare (about 11.50€, or 9.50€ booked online). For the very cheapest trip the S-Bahn S7 from the station beneath the terminals is hard to beat, so the coaches matter most for direct links to districts the train serves less well, and for the convenience of a single ride into the centre.
The three routes that matter
City centre line (Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz). The flagship route. It links the airport with Morzinplatz/Schwedenplatz on the edge of the historic centre, close to Stephansplatz and the Ringstrasse, running every 30 minutes with a ride of about 20 minutes. From Schwedenplatz you can pick up the U1 and U4 U-Bahn lines and several tram routes.
Westbahnhof line. This route runs to Wien Westbahnhof via Wien Hauptbahnhof and the Meidling area, useful for travelers with onward ÖBB connections or hotels in the west of the city. It also departs about every 30 minutes.
Kagran / UNO City line. Heading north of the Danube, this route serves the UNO City (Vienna International Centre), Kagran, and the Donauzentrum, connecting with the U1 underground at Kagran. It runs regularly through the day, and the S7 covers the airport link during the late-night hours when coach frequencies thin out.
All routes leave from the clearly marked Vienna AirportLines stops directly outside the Arrivals hall; follow the bus pictograms from arrivals.

Tickets and validation
Vienna AirportLines coaches use their own operator fare, separate from Vienna's city transit tickets: about 11.50€ for a single and around 19€ for a return, with a small discount when booked online. Buy tickets on the Vienna AirportLines website, at the machine by the stop, or from the driver. If you prefer the city transit network instead, the S-Bahn S7 into Vienna runs on a VOR ticket (~4.40€) and includes onward U-Bahn or tram transfers within the city.
Long-distance coaches
Intercity coaches such as FlixBus also call at Vienna Airport on selected routes; schedules and tickets come from the operator, not from Vienna AirportLines. For most travelers heading into Vienna itself, the AirportLines coaches or the trains from the airport station remain the practical choices; our airport-to-city comparison weighs all the options side by side.
