Ever dreamed of visiting the fairytale-worthy City of Music? That bucket list goal might just be closer than you think. Singapore Airlines’ low-cost carrier, Scoot, has just announced a new direct flight route from Singapore to Vienna, Austria, at unbelievably cheap prices.
We’re talking one-way flights from just $309, inclusive of taxes, so assuming you manage to score the lowest price both ways, that’s just slightly over $600 for a round-trip. This happens to be the first and only direct budget flight from Singapore to the Austrian capital, offering Singaporean holidaymakers a rare chance to explore this city in Europe without splashing out too much cash.
And if you think you won’t be able to survive a non-stop 13-hour flight squished in budget seats, there’s always the option of ScootPlus with more leg room, extra baggage allowance, and included in-flight meals – starting from just $659, one-way, inclusive of taxes.
Currently, Scoot’s flights from Singapore to Vienna depart from Changi Airport at 3am and arrive at 10.10am, while returning flights embark from Vienna at 11.25am and reach Singapore at 4.50am. These flights operate thrice a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays via the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.
As the home of many famous musicians like Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, Vienna is known for its rich musical history. Classical music buffs will love visiting its many music museums, touring the former residence of Johann Strauss, and watching an orchestral performance or opera show in one of its many grand concert halls. But if this isn’t music to your ears, there are also plenty of art museums including the opulent Kunsthistorisches Museum, stunning cathedrals, as well as the Hofburg and Schönbrunn palaces.
Thanks to its location, Vienna also serves as a great starting point to explore other neighbouring countries in Europe. If you’re up for more adventure, rent a car and take a road trip to places like Hungary, Czechia, Hungary, and Croatia – the journey there will be full of scenic sights to soak in.
Scoot’s budget flights from Singapore to Vienna will commence from June 3, 2025, but bookings are already open as of January 16. Find out more and get your tickets via Scoot’s website.
