Your questions about flights to Salzburg, answered

Find helpful route details based on KAYAK data, including flight times, airports, airlines, and booking questions.

  • What facilities does Salzburg Airport provide for families?

    Passengers with children on flights to Salzburg can rest assured that they will be well catered for. As well as changing facilities in the public areas of the terminal, there is a children’s play corner located in the Markt Restaurant of Terminal 1, and a further one in the Departures area of charter flight Terminal 2. The Visitors’ Terrace is also a good way to keep older children entertained.

  • Is there an on-site hotel at Salzburg Airport?

    There is no hotel within the airport terminal, but the Airporthotel Salzburg is located just across from Arrivals, on the other side of Car Park 3. The Austria Trend Hotel Salzburg West can also be accessed by a 5min walk or 2min drive (shuttles available on request), and Hotel Himmelreich is an 8min walk or 3min drive away, with a transfer organised for free whenever possible.

  • What is the fastest way to get from Salzburg Airport to the city centre?

    It takes around 15-20min to reach Salzburg city centre by car from the airport; if you are not driving yourself, taxis are readily available outside the terminal building and cost around €30-40 (£26-34) for the trip. Numerous fixed rate transfer companies are also available if you are travelling to destinations outside the city centre. Cheaper and nearly as fast is to take the bus – No. 10 departs every 10min for the city centre (except Sundays) and takes 15min, while line No. 2 services the main train station every 10-20min, with a journey time of 23min. Single tickets for both routes cost €2.50 (£2.10).

  • Where can I get a bite to eat at Salzburg Airport?

    If you feel hungry after your flight to Salzburg, don’t worry – various concessions from coffee shops to a full-service restaurant are available in the terminal, many of them in the pre-security public area. Drink a local beer at the Stiegl Terminal in the check-in zone, grab a bakery treat from Resch&Frisch (daily from 05:00 to 18:00), relax with a hot drink at Coffeeshop Company, or enjoy an upscale meal at Jedermann, a restaurant located on the 1st floor.

  • What is the difference between the most popular and the most frequent airline at Salzburg?

    Ryanair operates the most flights from the United Kingdom to Salzburg at 7 per week, and for this route Ryanair is also the airline most often selected by KAYAK users searching for flights from the United Kingdom to Salzburg. The two are sometimes different because flight volume reflects an airline's schedule, while popularity reflects traveller choice.

Your guide to booking Salzburg flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Salzburg, aim to book around 6 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 24% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Salzburg, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to be around £125 return. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a good deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, aim to travel to Salzburg in November. Return fares historically average £129 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond an ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to midday to save up to £24 per return. Midday flights to Salzburg average £214 compared to £238 for evening flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class, and route. On flights to Salzburg, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, British Airways includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, Ryanair includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, and TUI Airways includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • Once you arrive in Salzburg, a few great places to start are Salzburg Hauptbahnhof, Salzburg City Centre, and Messezentrum Salzburg. These are popular with first-time visitors and can give you a good feel for the area.
  • Although usually considered a seasonal skiing airport, Salzburg Airport (SZG) is well located for travellers looking to visit other Austrian destinations like Innsbruck, Linz and Klagenfurt. Good road and rail links mean that even German towns like Rosenheim and Munich can be easily accessed via flights to Salzburg.
  • Enjoy a bit of regional colour while you wait by visiting the Salzburg Airport artport gallery. Located on the 1st floor, it features rotating exhibitions by local artists.
  • If you are just visiting the city of Salzburg for a short time before continuing your journey, make use of the secure baggage storage facility at the airport. Located by the "Bulky Items" desk, it charges a 24h rate for storing luggage and skis.
  • Feeling the need to stretch your legs after a flight to Salzburg? The free Visitors’ Terrace is open every day and offers panoramic views of the airport. A café is also in operation when the weather allows for it.
  • Many travellers choose to hire a car to explore the region, and several local and international firms are available at Salzburg Airport. To find them, you will need to take a covered path leading to the car park opposite the terminal building.
  • Smoking is not permitted at Salzburg Airport, even on the roof terrace, but travellers will find a dedicated smoking lounge near Gate 9 in Terminal 1.

Boarded and sat on plane for 3.5 hours before taking off, Updates infrequent and no refreshments offered.

I didn't have food, and there was no entertainment as it was a short haul flight, so can't comment on those, The head cabin crew member was addressing the passengers like a telesales person reeling off terms and conditions; we didn't understand a word he was saying. This is the second time this year we have flown with Ryanair, and both times we've had to carry our luggage downstairs to walk to the plane. As were both OAP's this isn't really acceptable. We have another flight booked for September to Lanzarote, so hopefully that will be better.

Smooth journey made good time. The aircraft was littered and did not look very presentable.

Flight was ok until there was a sudden juddering in the plane and a severe sudden loss of height. There were a lot of distressed passengers and not a single word was said by the pilot or crew.

Awful, the plane was on time but Ryan Air chose to use it for another flight that was running late to avoid the 3 hour penalty so our own flight was 1.5 hours late. This meant a 1 am scheduled landing became 2..30 and we missed our car hire which costs us an extra £300 to rebook - bloody shambles

We had to wait 2,5 hours in the plane before take off!!!

The flight was 1h delayed. There was a flight attendant making announcements in the cabin, but it was impossible to understand whether the information was important or not. (Although whatever she was saying, it was clearly meant to be communicated to the passengers.) From the way she spoke, it sounded like Spanish, but only thanks to catching one word out of every five or six — mumbled through her teeth — I realized she was actually speaking English. It was quite embarrassing

The table at my seat was dirty, the crew was nice, the boarding was swift. An average Ryanair experience but this time the plane was not properly cleaned between flights.

Ryanair was ok but the flight is delayed 2 hours! We dont know the reason if it was either Ryanaair or the Kos airport or Vienna Airport …

I got denied boarding bevause they said they "ran out of seats on a plane"

There was a delay because they had to switch planes it wasn’t explained very well nor were there updates.

Flight was two hours delayed then instead of flying to Gatwick we got diverted to Southend airport! Then they cancelled our flight and we all got told we had to get off the plane and make our own way to wherever we had to go? EasyJet just abandoned us, no help and as a tourist not knowing even where I was? Disgusting behaviour from the company!!

I’ve always flew with Ryan, but never again I’ll always fly with easyJet

There was no useful information given regarding the flight back to the UK from Tenerife. This despite the week publicised problems around the EES system and the delays caused to boarding. This aspect of the customer experience could have been much better.

Fast boarding, smooth takeoff and landing. plenty of space in seats. Excellent air-conditioning on a hot day. Perfect experience

Whole way through - far more professional and slick than I expected

Sitting on the last row in between the aisle and a massive person, all people going to the bathroom bumped into me including the flight attendants.

The best budget airline in Europe. Flight was on time, crew friendly and worked hard during flight and were able to meet our needs. Only downside (not the airline's fault), there were no rear steps.

It was transportation nothing more. I will give a positive rating over Ryanair. We missed our Ryanair flight the night before and received rude and unconcerned treatment from the Ryanair customer service. It was late. We were very tired and stressed after doing our best to get to the airport. The so called customer service ladies were completely unconcerned from the start. Aside from that, the flight to London seemed to be their opportunity for advertising. No time to relax as attendants were constantly in the aisle selling. I will never fly Ryanair again!!

Boarding could be better. To get through your gate but to be stood in a corridor for 20 minutes is not great.

It was a short flight. Plenty of room on the plane. It was also extremely clean.

I arrived late in Frankfurt and I had to catch my flight to Vienna and I was running late because when I was landing the flight to Vienna was boarding. I had to go through immigration and then I had to wait in a long line to take a bus to a terminal where my flight to Vienna was taking off. However, I truly didn't think I would make it. I was literally running through the whole airport and when I stopped to ask at one of the Austrian Airlines gates they were rude because they didn't have the time to support me.

They were late and I missed my flight for Chicago. Terrible experience with Austrian airline this time.

They separated me from my kids We were checked in to fly from Vienna to Frankfurt and Washington DC final destination but separated my wife and kids sent them to Barcelona instead then Washington DC They end up traveling for 26 hours Horrible experience Never Austrian Airlines/Lufthansa again!

The flight didn’t happen with Lufthansa. It got canceled with no reason given and all I received for my troubles was €20. People make travel plans for a reason and when the flight was rebooked, it was delayed for 4 1/2 hours on Austria Airlines. The flight attendants were of zero help. They just wanted to stand and look pretty. I hope to never fly Austrian Airlines again. Horrible!!

Food selection wasnt great, even for flight meals. However staff was e extremely pleasant

Lost my luggage and still not found to this point.

was having emergency they keep dalying the flight I miss hull my trip and united airline charges me &100 for bags and I spent more thin $320 at airport for my family and when I get back samthing Daly my flight in muc I lost flight in Chicago I spent another &220 at Germany airport for no reason I should get refunded it’s very hard when total off us 7 people buy food at airport

The plain was on time. Better seating, better service than Discover. I wish I could used them for my return flight. I have used them before, and they were always good.

Great, the staff the service and everything was very good, without delays very comfortable.

The flight was canceled and I was directed to Air France two days later than my plan departure day. This involve getting two more days of hotel and also not being able to get a boarding pass until I got to the Istanbul Air France boarding desk. It has been a troubling time.

I didn’t take that flight. My original flight was cancelled from Los Angeles. They rebooked me following day through Montreal My flight was LAX to YUL and YUL GVA

It makes no sense for several types of drinks to already be out of stock in the middle of the flight.

Pleasant and friendly staff. Comfortable aircraft. Speedy boarding. Took off on time. Arrived earlier than scheduled. Overall very enjoyable flight.

I have a walker I need it to get from the plane to customs and baggage claim. It had a huge orange tag on it saying it should be given to me as I got off the plane. It was not and the flight staff didn’t know where it was—both on my flight to London and on the return. In It was very frustrating

They forced me to check my wheel bag because there was a full flight. This was very frustrating. I went out of my way when planning my trip to not have to check any bags. Usually, they ask people if they are willing to check a bag they do not force people. This felt like bad planning on the part of the airline.

Had a plane! Have a plan! Have my luggage! 10 hours of travel turned into 50 hours. Good Lord!

because the previous flight operated by BA was delayed, when arrived to the gate, I was surprised that I was taken out of this flight and they rebook me but with a different seat

The flight was delayed as they were waiting on catering. Catering. Was eventually delivered but they still had no food. No meals for us in business class - just a bag of nuts.

Not as bad as from Newark to London ,but that doesn’t mean I will book with them again

Missed slot to leave so we were on the plane for an extra hour. The seats were really uncomfortable and the food was poor. The experience makes me think twice about flying as I suspect they are all similar.

Fine, charter flights. Plane full, and staff nice and friendly. No option for free food or drink. Entertainment through paid app.

The 737-8 is too small for the length of flight especially if there are any delays

The flight was delayed over 2 hours, we should off left the plane2 late passengers as it’s not fair on everyone who’s followed the rules.

Dreamliner. Yes great if maintained. I didn't see anyones screen work consistently during either of our flights. Worse was their ability to not only dump you out of premium but separate couples and seat someone's carer at the opposite end of the aircraft. This poor gentleman had no hand so his partner who assists him, being seated at the other end of the aircraft, well that really showed us all what Tui think :( It was fairly dire all in all, they advertise all the perks of the dreamliner only in reality you don't have the features and they change the windows and colours to suit their constant sales pitches. Ironically they were so low on stock for the return flight that all their sales pitches were a waste of time! Their contract only favours them and 'operational changes' well they cover every excuse and Tui use it. Surprisingly we haven't reinstalled the Tui app or booked with them since. It's a shame as I rated them highly during the pandemic.
