Flights to Salzburg

Forget raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, cheap flights to Salzburg – the setting for “The Sound of Music” – will become one of your favourite things when this magical city takes its place in your heart.

You don’t need to go anywhere else to find the lowest fares on flights to Salzburg. Find out why it should be on your travel wish list...

As the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salzburg sings the glories of its famous composer son at the top of its vocal range. Musical notes also come courtesy of the city’s connections with “The Sound of Music” – catch a dinner show, visit filming locations or see the Von Trapps in puppet form at the Salzburger Marionettentheater puppet theatre.

You’ll revel in Mozart and Maria as much as the city does, although there’s much more than music on offer in Salzburg. Fairy-tale castles, charming museums, buzzing town squares and a Christmas market to make Santa proud mean Salzburg flights from the UK are busy throughout the year.

Get your seat booked and discover the charms of one of Austria’s loveliest cities.

Flights to Salzburg from London offer one of the cheapest ways to reach Austria, with other UK departure points also presenting low-cost options. Use the search superpowers of TravelSupermarket to find your ideal flight in seconds.

The Von Trapps would have had plenty of ways to escape from Salzburg if wanted to reach the UK today...

With the ski season in full swing, there is a huge range of winter flights to Salzburg. Easyjet operates from Luton, Gatwick, Bristol and Liverpool; British Airways flies from London Gatwick and Glasgow; Ryanair takes off from London Stansted; Jet2 leaves from Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh and Manchester. This is in addition to the holiday flight charters with companies such as TUI from around the UK. Flights take a little under two hours.

In summer, however, there is less choice, with easyJet and BA the only real direct options. Alternatively, fly via Vienna with Austrian Airlines or through Frankfurt or Munich with Lufthansa.

Salzburg Airport (SZG) is minutes away from the city centre, which makes it easy to get around when you touch down…

Regular bus services take passengers from the airport to central Salzburg in just 20 minutes. Single tickets cost 2.50 euros. If you take a taxi, you can expect to pay 15-20 euros.

Taxi and bus transfer services also serve the nearby ski resorts, such as Zell am See-Kaprun.

Another option is to pre-book cheap car hire in Salzburg, collecting your vehicle upon arrival at the airport.
