Good to know before your visit
Entrance
At Wien Mitte (Landstraße), follow the distinct green 'CAT' floor markings inside 'The Mall' shopping center to the dedicated terminal; if flying out, use the City Check-In counters to drop luggage and receive boarding passes (available for most airlines from 24 hours up to 75 minutes before departure). At Vienna Airport, follow the green signage from the Arrivals hall directly to the underground platform on Level -1. There is no security screening to board the train, but you must scan your QR code at the automated gates or present it to the conductor during the 16-minute journey.
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
As of June 2026, children under 15 years of age travel free of charge on the City Airport Train (CAT) when accompanied by an adult; no separate ticket or seat reservation is required for them, though proof of age should be available. Reduced fares are available for holders of the Vienna City Card, ÖBB Vorteilscard, or KlimaTicket, but these discounts are generally only applicable when purchasing through official CAT channels or machines. Travelers with limited mobility can access the train via level boarding at both terminals; if a disability pass indicates the need for an assistant, the accompanying person may travel free. Please note that a valid CAT ticket is a prerequisite for using the City Check-in and baggage drop-off services at the Wien Mitte station.
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.
