The route
The journey
What the journey actually looks like
Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.
Direct or connecting
75% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 25% involve one connection.
How far it really runs
The route covers 889 km against 863 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Milan, Padua, Verona, Genoa. The gap between arriving and leaving is 57 minutes, of which about 14 is walking.
If the connection is missed
The tightest connection we sell here has a 17 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.
First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Nice at 06:28 and the last at 18:44, across 12 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Vienna is large, and the road in from VIE can take longer than the last hour of the flight. Cars are not our business.
Getting from VIE into Vienna
Settled in advance, so the ride into Vienna costs what it said it would rather than what the cab stand says.

Where these numbers come from
Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
Every figure above was computed for Nice to Vienna on September 9, 2026: 889 km of route against 863 km in a straight line, 16 services a day, 3 operators, a cheapest fare of €48.03, and 4h 42m door to door on the fastest mode. The return direction is computed separately and its numbers are not these numbers.
The flight is the simple part. What you do once you are in Vienna is somebody else's catalog.
