Does anyone know if this pass (NOT the "Vienna Pass, which I believe is not particularly good value for money) is valid on all forms of public transport in the city - U-bahn, S-bahn, tram, bus? What are the geographical zone limits - can we get out as far as the airport on this pass for example?

Thanks in advance!

I recall there is a small supplement you pay for the airport when you have the pass, which is of course less than a full ticket to the airport from Vienna and vice versa.

Here is all your info

and according to this article the supplement is 2E but only valid on the commuter trains:

I have done this and it is very easy

"Commuter rail line S7 (Floridsdorf - Wien Mitte/City - Airport - Wolfsthal) has trains every 30 minutes from the airport to the city centre (calling at all stations). Travel time is 24 Minutes to the city centre (Wien Mitte). A ticket costs €4, and it will get you from the airport to any metro, tram or bus station in Vienna, allowing you to change as often as you have to. If you already have a 24-hour, 48-hour, 72-hour, Vienna Card or any other regular VOR ticket for zone 100, you only need to buy a €2 supplement."

We just returned from Vienna and used the 72 hour pass. We didn't use the airport train. But the 72 hour ticket is a great deal. We went everywhere, and multiple times each day. We used trains and trams. By the end of our first day we had made the cost of the ticket and essentially rode for free the next 2 days. Lincasanova's link has all the information and is what you'll see on the ticket machines as you buy. One other thing, if you don't have the money, or the proper bills, it takes credit cards.

Thanks all. I checked the link provided. What's the catch with the "Weekly travel pass" for €15.80 versus a "72-hour ticket" for €15.40? We are in town for 4 full days.

Ahh - I think the penny just dropped. The "Weekly travel pass" starts Mondays and finishes Sundays. So if we arrive on a Saturday and leave Tuesday, we'd need two... obviously doesn't work compared with the 72 hour ticket. Have I got that right?

Gordon,

Sounds good to me. We ended up buying a 72 hour and then a 24 hour as we needed 4 days.
