16 minutes straight from the airport to the city Mitte station Safe and secure for first-time visitors Cheap SBAHHN takes a long time to get back to the airport when you have a train accident, so CAT choice ... when I got back to the airport after a long time, it was safe and fast and comfortable with a lot of tourists

We didn’t realize public transit would have been nearly as fast and about 1/3 the cost. That said we bought a return ticket and used a discount so it wasn’t too bad. The service was excellent and train was clean.
A bit pricey but fast and efficient

The CAT service provides a quick, safe journey to and from the airport. Easy transfer to the ubahn. Friendly staff. The local trains are much cheaper so catch them if you can.
Too expensive

Hardly any added value, only a few minutes savings compared to the S-Bahn and but disrupts the rest of the traffic for ordinary citizens.
Convenient but expensive

Non-stop connection between the airport and Wiener Mitte station. The OBB tracks are used, but because the swimming companies are different, it is expensive at an extra cost. The decision is whether to choose nonstop convenience or price.
Never buy these tickets.

Absolute joke. Ticket is three times as expensive as regular traintickets. Don’t fall for the aggressive advertisement.
