Bratislava Airport to Vienna

Hello there,

Would appreciate if someone could clarify if Skyshuttle still runs services from Bratislava Airport to Vienna?

It appears the timetable I have may be outdated (if the company is even running at all!).

I am flying with SkyEurope, and arriving in Bratislava Airport at 12:00, 27 March.

From the SkyEurope website, I see there are supposedly two services which operate between Bratislava Airport and Vienna - but the timetable for both bus companies seem infrequent, and rather confusing, as I%26#39;m not familiar with either destinations in Bratislava/Vienna.

Would be grateful for some help to co-ordinate my journey. E.g. where to board the bus from Bratislava Airport (pre-booking required?) and also, how to get from Vienna (which stop?) to Bratislava Airport.

If you can%26#39;t find a bus link (there aren%26#39;t many from the airport) then get bus no. 61 (1 Euro) from the airport straight to the rail station (last stop) and get a train from there - they go very frequently. There are also frequent bus links from the main bus station and also every hour from the city%26#39;s other rail station in Petržalka (but that is right the other side of town. All in all there are about 60 links per day, so you won%26#39;t be stuck!

Thanks for that info!:) It%26#39;s certainly useful to know my alternatives...

I%26#39;m wondering if you know the name of the rail station for bus #61? If so, I wonder if they have a direct train that takes me to Westbahnhof in Vienna? Any idea how much tickets would cost and how long is the ride?

I%26#39;m trying to work out a time table so I can work out my schedule in Vienna.

Many thanks! :)

will give you your options. The name of the station is Hlavná stanica (which means %26#39;main station%26#39;, funnily enough :) ) and it is the last stop, so you can%26#39;t miss it.

I think it costs about 9 Euros and it takes about an hour and goes to Suedbahnhof (only a couple of early trains go to Westbahnhof). No need to book as it is just a local train - just ask for %26#39;Wien%26#39; (Vienna might stump them)

BTW the buses go every hour from the airport to Vienna, Suedtirolerplatz, leaving at 25 minutes past every hour - if you put %26#39;bratislava letisko%26#39; in the search box in the above link it will come up with all the times - you can book tickets that way as well, but you should be able to just pay the driver - about 5 euros or something like that.

Many thanks for all that treasure trove of advice! :D

Look at this link for the bus times:

postbus.at/en/…index.jsp

They leave Bratislava airport at 12:25 and 13:25.

There%26#39;s also Terravision:

www.terravision.eu/vienna_bratislava.html

Not convenient for your arrival time (unless you%26#39;re delayed) but may fit in with your return.

Thanks Norman..

Only thing is, I think Terravision has a fine print that states that it only caters to Ryanair customers.

It%26#39;s weird they don%26#39;t want to rake in more customers with this policy, but I think they have a special contract with Ryanair so that there are always enough spaces for Ryanair customers.

|||

Rosie, I tried a dummy booking of Terravision tickets and checked their terms and conditions and Ryanair%26#39;s name didn%26#39;t crop up once!

|||

Hi Norman,

The info I got was from:

www.terravision.eu/vienna_bratislava.html

And this is what it says:

BRATISLAVA AIRPORT %26lt;-%26gt; VIENNA CITY CENTRE

This is a dedicated airport-city centre transfer for Ryanair passengers only

Journey Time: 75 mins.

Departs from: Bratislava Airport

Vienna City Centre

Hi Rosie

Something strange happening on their website because when I went back in my history to the page I checked it is coming up as unavailable! The link you provided does say for Ryanair passengers only at the top which the page I accessed didn%26#39;t say. Maybe they can%26#39;t make up their minds!

Anyway, the Post busus are definitely open to all!

If you follow the link above then you can buy a ticket through Slovak Lines or go straight to http://www.slovaklines.sk/ (there is an English option) for the buses that go at 25 past each hour - there are no restriction on airlines, and it is cheaper at €7.70 (Terravision costs €10 - the difference going to Ryanair of course :) )
