A gateway to the world
Vienna is the closest true intercontinental hub to Slovenia - from Schwechat you can fly nonstop to New York, Tokyo, Bangkok and beyond, no European connection required.
Home of Austrian Airlines
Vienna is the hub of Austrian Airlines and a key Star Alliance gateway, so a single connection here reaches almost anywhere in the Lufthansa Group's global network.
Low-cost as well as legacy
Alongside full-service airlines, Wizz Air, Ryanair and Eurowings all base aircraft at Vienna - so you'll often find cheap fares across Europe as well as premium long-haul.

Your driver picks you up at your door and takes you directly to Departures — around a 2h 30min drive via the Šentilj border and the Austrian A9 / A2.
How far in advance should I book? +
GoOpti uses dynamic pricing - the earlier you book, the lower the price. We recommend booking as soon as you know your travel dates. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and subject to availability.
How long does the transfer from Maribor to Vienna Airport take? +
The distance is around 235 km and the drive normally takes 2h 20min to 2h 50min via the Šentilj border crossing and the Austrian A9 / A2 motorways, depending on traffic.

Which terminal does GoOpti drop me off at? +
Vienna Airport has terminals 1, 1A and 3. Your driver knows which one your airline uses and drops you right at the correct Departures entrance - so you head straight inside with your luggage.
What are my other options for getting to Vienna Airport? +
You can take a direct bus from Maribor to Vienna (several run daily) and change for the airport, go by train via Graz, drive and park at VIE, or book a private taxi. Each has trade-offs in price, time and effort - see the comparison above. GoOpti is the option that picks you up at your exact door in Maribor and takes you directly to Departures.
Do I need my passport or ID for the transfer? +
The route crosses from Slovenia into Italy, but both are in the Schengen Area, so there are no routine border checks and the transfer runs without stops. We still recommend carrying a valid ID or passport, as you'll need it for your flight and occasional spot checks can occur.
How early should I arrive at Vienna Airport? +
Vienna is a large but efficient hub. For European flights, arriving 2 hours before departure is recommended; for long-haul intercontinental flights allow at least 3 hours. We'll time your pick-up in Maribor accordingly.
