Vienna Airport is so close to the Slovak border that many visitors to Bratislava fly there rather than into Bratislava itself. For a group, the question is then simply how to get everyone across. The coach covers about 64 km in about 55 minutes, which is shorter than many city transfers elsewhere in Europe.
A short hop across the border
From Schwechat the road runs east towards the border, and the coach is in Slovakia within a short drive before entering Bratislava. Austria and Slovakia are both in Schengen, so there is no routine border check, but every passenger should still have an ID card or passport. Tolls in both countries are paid by the coach. There is no break needed and nothing to plan around, other than traffic at peak times.
Why a coach for under an hour
Short transfers are where large groups lose the most time to logistics: several taxis, bags split between them and people waiting in hotel lobbies for the last car. One coach seats 49 to 53 passengers, and the hold takes suitcases up to 30 kg per piece along with sports kit or event material. Put the flight number in your enquiry so the pick-up follows the actual landing if the flight is delayed. With more than 53 people, two coaches can cover different arrival times.
This transfer suits conferences, corporate events, sports teams and wedding guests. Our coaches are based in Poprad, Slovakia, at the other end of the country, so the quote includes driving to Vienna Airport for the pick-up; combining it with further days of driving, such as the trip to the mountains in Vienna Airport to Poprad, makes it better value.
