Practical tips
Milan is served by several airports, such as Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo. Check the airport printed on your ticket before leaving, and plan the transfer from the city accordingly so you don't end up at the wrong one.
Last-minute tickets, whether for the plane or the coach, usually cost noticeably more. Book as soon as your dates are fixed, especially in summer and around holidays, when the cheapest seats sell out first.
Long-distance coaches in Milan often leave from Lampugnano, but the stop can vary by operator. Read your booking confirmation carefully and check the departure point before heading out, so you don't miss the coach.
An overnight coach can save you a hotel night. Pack a neck pillow, a light layer, snacks and a charged phone, and keep your passport or ID card handy, as you are crossing a border.
Low-fare flights often include only a small cabin bag. Check the size and weight limits before booking, and add a checked bag online in advance, since paying at the airport is usually more expensive.
The journey experience
Milan to Vienna is a long hop across the Alps, and here the choice is not train versus coach but plane versus bus. Two options, very different trade-offs. The table on this page puts time and price side by side, so you can decide in seconds.
Flying is the fast choice. It leaves most of your day free in Vienna, and Milan has several airports to choose from. Just keep an eye on cabin baggage rules. The coach is the budget-friendly option. It offers reclining seats, an onboard toilet and, on many services, Wi-Fi and power sockets. It drops you in the city rather than at an airport, and it lets you travel overnight to save a hotel night. It suits flexible travellers who prefer to avoid airport security.
Our advice: if your time matters more than the last euro, fly. If you are flexible and want to save, take the coach. Either way, check which airport or bus stop you leave from before booking, because Milan has several. Book ahead in high season, as the cheapest fares go first. Booking online gives instant confirmation, so you can relax.
