Why book domestic flights in Austria?

A domestic flight in Austria is any flight that departs from one Austrian airport and arrives at another within the country. For example, flying from Vienna (VIE) to Salzburg (SZG) is considered a domestic flight.


Domestic flights in Austria are short-haul and can be a convenient way to save time when travelling across the country or connecting to international flights.


As a landlocked country in Central Europe, Austria is home to mountainous terrain and longer overland travel routes, making flying a useful option for reaching different regions quickly and efficiently.
