More Flights, More Excuses to Travel

Here’s what’s new in the world of Vienna departures:

• A new route from Chengdu (CTU) for Hainan Airlines means Shenzhen (SZX) is back on the schedule and allows for the delicate balance of dim sums and dragon dances. Giant pandas, let’s go!
• Annual tickets to Tokyo (NRT) are again available from All Nippon Airways. No one equipped with working taste buds should have layovers when premium sushi is Lovelace.
• In June of 2025 Scoot, a low cost carrier of Singapore Airlines, will commence flights Singapore (SIN) thrice-weekly. Schnitzel farewell and satay hello.

But wait—there’s more! The Middle East and Europe are getting some love too:

• SKY Express is bringing you four-times-weekly flights to Athens (ATH), because nothing says “tough decision” like choosing between the Austrian Alps and the Greek islands.
• Air Arabia now connects Vienna to Sharjah (SHJ) four times a week, proving that spontaneous weekend getaways can span entire continents.
• EasyJet is adding a daily Milan (MXP) route in March 2025, because fashion emergencies and espresso cravings wait for no one.

Bigger, Better, and Less Airport Chaos

With more people jetting in and out, Vienna Airport is also giving itself a glow-up—dropping €420 million (about $428 million) on a shiny new South Terminal expansion, set to debut in 2027. Expect:

• Faster security checks (because no one enjoys the awkward one-legged shoe removal dance).
• More spacious waiting areas (so you don’t have to fight for a spot next to the one available charger).
• Upgraded dining and shopping options, because duty-free panic buys should always be top-tier.
