Salzburg flight FAQs
A flight from London to Salzburg takes two hours.
Salzburg Airport is popular for its Christmas markets and ski breaks during the winter, so search for flights outside the peak season, which runs from December to February. Use our low fare finder to find the cheapest time to fly to Salzburg.
One of the easiest ways to keep costs down in Salzburg is to see as much of it as possible on foot. The city centre is small and easy to navigate. It's also one of Austria's most bike-friendly cities. Save money and stay hydrated by carrying a refillable bottle to use at one of the restored drinking fountains. They deliver pure, mountain-fresh water straight from the Alps. If you're planning to visit lots of paid-for attractions in a short time, you might want to invest in the Salzburg Card.
The airport is just four kilometers from the centre of Salzburg. A taxi or bus from Salzburg Airport to the city centre can take as little as 15 minutes.
To explore further afield and experience the beauty of this Alpine region, hire a car with British Airways. You'll get great benefits, round-the-clock customer support, with all mandatory charges included, and you'll collect Avios points on every rental.
Enjoy some of the beautiful locations that made the Sound of Music so iconic. Salzburg was a key location for much of the film and the home of the real von Trapp family. If that wasn't enough of a musical pedigree, the city is also closely linked with its most famous son, Mozart. Visitors can find his image almost everywhere, on everything from statues to chocolates.
