Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Vienna?

Whether you want a Mumbai to Vienna non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Vienna fare is one search away.
Austrian Airlines has historically been the only carrier to operate BOM–VIE non-stop, but its long-haul schedule has changed and a year-round daily direct is not guaranteed for 2026 — check live availability for your exact dates. For one-stop, Lufthansa / Swiss connect via Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich into Vienna; Turkish Airlines via Istanbul; Emirates via Dubai; and Qatar Airways via Doha. These one-stop routings are frequent and reliable, and often competitively priced.
The great-circle distance from Mumbai to Vienna is roughly 6,000 km. A non-stop, where available, runs around 9 hours. One-stop itineraries vary widely: via Istanbul or the Gulf you might see 11–14 hours total including the layover, while a tight European connection via Frankfurt or Munich can be similar. Vienna is 3h 30m behind India in winter and 4h 30m behind during European summer (DST), so an overnight Mumbai departure typically lands in Vienna in the morning.
Peaks are the European summer (June–August), the Christmas-market season (late Nov–Dec), and the Indian holiday windows around Diwali and May–June. Cheaper stretches are usually late January–March and September–October shoulder weeks. Booking 2–3 months ahead helps for summer and Christmas dates. Fares change daily and are quoted live — check current prices in the FlightGPT search rather than relying on any fixed figure.
Compare a Lufthansa Group routing (via Frankfurt/Munich/Zurich) against Turkish via Istanbul and the Gulf carriers — fare gaps are common. If a non-stop is bookable and only marginally pricier, it can be worth it for the time saved; if not, a one-stop is the practical choice. Mid-week departures usually price lower. Booking the Mumbai–hub and hub–Vienna as one through-ticket protects your connection. Be flexible by a few days for the best fare.
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) handles international departures from the modern, art-filled Terminal 2. Vienna International Airport (VIE) is compact, efficient and easy to navigate, with a fast City Airport Train (CAT) reaching the centre in about 16 minutes. As an EU/Schengen entry point, Vienna processes non-Schengen arrivals through passport control; if you connect onward within Schengen, you clear immigration in Vienna.
On this corridor, Lufthansa Group and Austrian economy fares typically allow 1 checked bag of 23 kg + 8 kg cabin (with cheaper 'Light' fares carrying cabin-only — check before booking). Turkish Airlines, Emirates and Qatar Airways usually offer a more generous 30 kg weight-based economy allowance. If you are carrying more, the Gulf or Turkish routings can be better value. Always confirm the exact allowance on your specific fare and every leg.
Austria is in the Schengen Area, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa in advance — applied for via the Austrian consulate's VFS centre, with travel insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of funds and accommodation. It allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period across all Schengen countries. If you connect through another Schengen hub (e.g. Frankfurt), the same visa covers it. Airside transit at a non-Schengen hub like Istanbul or Dubai needs no Schengen visa. Apply 4–6 weeks ahead.
Frankfurt / Munich (Lufthansa) and Zurich (Swiss) offer seamless Star Alliance transfers into Vienna and keep you in one alliance for baggage. Istanbul (Turkish) is a vast modern hub, often well-priced. Dubai (Emirates) and Doha (Qatar) bring excellent service and generous baggage but add distance. For the shortest total time, a same-alliance European connection usually wins; for value or baggage, Turkish or the Gulf can be better.
Before booking, confirm whether a BOM–VIE non-stop is actually available for your dates rather than assuming Austrian flies direct daily. For overnight departures, choose a seat and try to sleep on the long leg. Carry your Schengen visa, insurance and accommodation proof. Vienna is wonderfully walkable — the CAT train gets you downtown fast. Keep medicines and a power bank in your cabin bag, and leave a safe connection buffer at your transit hub.
Vienna is one of Europe's great cultural capitals: the Schönbrunn and Hofburg palaces, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Belvedere (home to Klimt's 'The Kiss'), grand coffee houses, and a world-class opera and classical-music scene. It is also a superb base for Central Europe — Salzburg, Budapest, Prague and Bratislava are all within easy reach by train, making Vienna a natural first stop on a wider European trip.
Not reliably in 2026. Austrian Airlines has historically been the only non-stop operator on BOM–VIE, but its long-haul schedule has shifted, so a year-round daily direct is not guaranteed. Always verify live availability for your dates.
Lufthansa / Swiss (via Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich), Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), Emirates (via Dubai) and Qatar Airways (via Doha) all offer frequent, reliable one-stop service into Vienna.
A non-stop, where available, runs about 9 hours over roughly 6,000 km. One-stop itineraries typically total 11–14 hours including the layover, depending on the hub and connection time you choose.
Yes. Austria is in the Schengen Area, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa, applied for via the Austrian consulate's VFS centre with insurance, proof of funds and accommodation. Apply 4–6 weeks ahead.
Vienna is 3h 30m behind Mumbai in winter and 4h 30m behind during European summer daylight saving. An overnight Mumbai departure typically lands in Vienna in the morning.
For the shortest total time, a Star Alliance connection via Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich usually wins. For value or more baggage, Turkish via Istanbul or the Gulf carriers (Emirates, Qatar) can be better. Compare your dates live.
Lufthansa Group and Austrian economy fares typically allow 1 checked bag of 23 kg plus 8 kg cabin (cheaper 'Light' fares may be cabin-only), while Turkish and the Gulf carriers usually allow a more generous 30 kg. Confirm on your fare.
Late January–March and the September–October shoulder are usually cheapest. Avoid the European summer (June–August), the Christmas-market season and Indian holiday peaks, and book summer or Christmas dates 2–3 months ahead.
