At the airport
Use the dated ÖBB itinerary from Flughafen Wien to the required rail hub. Confirm the platform after baggage collection and allow time for the onward train.
Flying into Vienna Airport for a ski holiday
Vienna Airport (VIE) has a railway station in the terminal complex and long-distance connections toward Wien Hauptbahnhof. For Semmering, Stuhleck and Schladming, the main station is generally a more useful interchange than Wien Mitte. Hochkar needs a different western rail-and-bus chain and a final mountain service. Choose the destination and departure date before buying an airport ticket. CAT and the S7 are city products with their own routes and current service arrangements; they are not interchangeable with a train to the mainline station. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Vienna Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Winter travel
Check the last mountain bus or station pickup. A train reaching a valley town late in the evening does not guarantee a ski-base arrival.
