Before checkout

What is often not included

  • CAT tickets are strictly valid only for the green City Airport Train; they cannot be used on the OBB Railjet or the S7 S-Bahn trains, even though they follow similar routes. Boarding the wrong train with a CAT ticket will result in a fare fine.
  • The City Check-in service at Wien Mitte is restricted to specific airlines (including Austrian, Lufthansa, Swiss, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings); verify your airline's participation and check-in deadlines before relying on this for luggage drop-off.
  • The CAT only services the Wien Mitte (Landstraße) station; if your destination is Vienna Main Station (Hauptbahnhof), you must take the OBB Railjet instead, as the CAT does not stop there and onward transit will cost extra.
  • Tickets are checked via automated gates at the terminal and by conductors on board; ensure your digital or printed ticket is ready before entering the platform to avoid significant on-train purchase surcharges.
  • A standard CAT ticket does not include onward travel within Vienna's local transport network; a separate ticket for the U-Bahn, trams, or buses (Wiener Linien) is required once you reach the city center.
  • Children under 15 travel free on the CAT, but some third-party combo tickets or bundles may not automatically apply this discount or may require a separate 'zero-cost' ticket to be added during the checkout process.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    At Wien Mitte/Landstraße, follow CAT signs to the dedicated terminal; the station connects with Vienna’s U3 and U4 lines. At Vienna Airport, follow CAT signs from the baggage-claim area to the CAT station and ticket kiosks. Keep your mobile or printed ticket ready for inspection. City Check-in is available only for participating airlines and within their stated deadlines.

  • Price

    Current visible offers show €14.90 for the official-site CAT Single trip, €15 for a GetYourGuide CAT Transfer with limited availability, and €15.90 for the available Tiqets airport↔Wien Mitte transfer listings. A separate Tiqets roundtrip airport-transfer and Hop-on Hop-off bus bundle is listed at €57.50. Compare the final checkout total, travel direction, cancellation terms and inclusions before paying.

  • Discounts

    Children under 15 travel free on the CAT; check the official conditions if proof of age is requested. CAT also lists discounted fares linked to selected partner cards and a PRM card, so eligibility and required proof should be checked on the official fare page. Travelers using City Check-in need a valid CAT ticket, and airline-specific baggage and check-in limits apply.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book a specific train departure time?

No, CAT tickets are not tied to a specific time slot or even a specific day. Standard online tickets are valid for six months from the date of purchase, allowing you to board any CAT train during that period. They depart every 30 minutes from both the airport and Wien Mitte, with a non-stop journey time of 16 minutes.

How does the City Check-in at Wien Mitte work?

If you have a valid CAT ticket, you can check your luggage and receive your boarding pass at the CAT terminal in Wien Mitte (Landstraße) for many airlines, including Austrian, Lufthansa, Swiss, and Eurowings. This service is available from 24 hours up to 75 minutes before departure, allowing you to travel to the airport hands-free.

Are children required to have a ticket for the CAT?

Children under the age of 15 travel free of charge on the City Airport Train. You do not need to purchase a ticket for them, but you should carry a valid ID to verify their age if requested by the train attendant during the journey.

Does a CAT ticket include travel on Vienna's subways or trams?

A standard CAT ticket only covers the non-stop transfer between the airport and the Wien Mitte station. It does not include travel on Vienna's city-wide public transport (U-Bahn, trams, or buses) unless you specifically purchase a 'CAT + City Ticket' combo or already hold a valid Wiener Linien pass.

What is the difference between the CAT and the S-Bahn S7 or Railjet?

The CAT is a premium, non-stop service to Wien Mitte (16 mins, from €15.90). The S-Bahn S7 is the budget alternative (€4.40), taking 25 minutes with multiple stops. The ÖBB Railjet also costs €4.40 and takes 16 minutes, but it arrives at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hbf) rather than the central Wien Mitte hub.

How long is my CAT ticket valid after purchase?

Standard CAT tickets purchased online are typically valid for six months from the date of purchase. This provides flexibility if your flight is delayed or if you decide to change your travel day within that period.

Where do I find the CAT platforms at the airport and in the city?

At Vienna Airport, follow the bright green 'CAT' signs from the arrivals hall to the lower station level. In the city, the CAT terminal is located at the Wien Mitte (Landstraße) station, which is directly connected to the U3 and U4 subway lines.
