Heathrow to Vienna
Is there a website where I can get quotes on travel within Europe? I am in the U.S. and the normal sites:Travelocity, Expedia, Air consolidators.com have limited choices.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are only limited choices on this route, that's why.
Only BA and Austrian fly this route: virtually none of the low-cost airlines on flybudget.com use Heathrow at all.
And there are no flights to Vienna from other London airports.
The only way round this is to play with the flybudget site, looking for flights from other London airports to Vienna. You'll eventually come up with combinations, like Air Berlin changing at Berlin - or bizarre routes via Athens or Majorca - that might still save you quite a lot of cash.

But there is some new low cost "central europe" low cost airline which serves Bratislava and is calling its hub "Vienna (Bratislava)" - - no more unreasonable than "Milan (Bergamo Orio al Serio)"
Sorry I can't remember the name. Someone else will likely remember it if it doesn't come to me soon.
Best wishes,
Rex

Neat thinking Rex.
Sky Europe. Flies to Stansted. And, if Ryanair flew from Bratislava it'd be called Vienna-East.
But booking up fast. From May 1 all flights will be fully occupied by British tabloid journalists writing scare stories about how the plane's full to bursting with Slovakian Roma. Already the flights are pretty full of journos trying to find Roma who might be thinking of coming to Britain.
