The route at a glance

Westbound, 1 278 km, and comfortably inside what a light / midsize jet does without a stop. The upper winds over Europe blow predominantly from the west, so this direction normally flies into them while the return leg has them behind it; the time below takes no view of direction. What actually sets your departure hour is the window at Vienna and where a suitable aircraft is standing that morning.

The distance is a great-circle figure taken from airport coordinates in the OurAirports open dataset, so the track actually flown is longer than it. The time is a model estimate and not a measured block time: the model is fitted to flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes on this website, it makes no distinction between the two directions, and routing, wind, slots and aircraft type all move it. The schedule in your quotation is the real one.

Which airports we use

One field at the Vienna end and a choice of two at the London end, which makes this mostly a page about where you want to be standing when the aircraft stops. Luton is the default and the field every figure here is calculated to; Farnborough is the shorter drive for a good part of the south-east. Give us the address you are heading to and we will quote to the one that gets you there sooner.

AirportCodesRoleSuits you if
ViennaVIE / LOWW1 278 kmWhere the sector starts, and the point every distance and time on this page is measured from. 13,712 business-aviation movements in 2023 (EBAA 2023). Private traffic has its own terminal and handling; the runways are shared with the scheduled operation, so the departure hour is worth agreeing with us rather than assuming.
London LutonLTN / EGGWarrivalWhere the sector ends, and the field all the distances and times on this page are calculated to. 26,661 business-aviation movements in 2023, fifth in Europe (EBAA 2023). It also carries the deepest choice of long-range aircraft available on any given day in the United Kingdom, which matters less for this arrival than for whatever you go on to fly out of London next.
FarnboroughFAB / EGLFarrival alternativeThe alternative landing field, and for part of the south-east the better one: a dedicated business-aviation airport with no scheduled traffic at all, which suits Surrey, Hampshire and west London. We fly the Cyprus sector from here as well. Tell us where you have to be that evening and we will say which of the two makes the shorter journey on the ground.

Aircraft for Vienna to London

1 278 km sits well inside light / midsize range, so the type is not the hard part of this booking. Seats, luggage and what the aircraft is doing before and after you decide which of the three below you actually get. Heading west into the prevailing wind changes the block time the flight is planned against, not the class of aircraft that flies it.

Cessna Citation XLS

A light / midsize jet that covers 1 278 km in one leg with the party and its luggage on board. Whether it is the one we put forward depends on what is standing within reach of Vienna on your date.

See the Cessna Citation XLS ›

Embraer Legacy 450

Also light / midsize, and equally at home over a sector of this length. We offer whichever of the three is positioned nearest Vienna on the morning you want to leave rather than a house favourite.

See the Embraer Legacy 450 ›

Hawker 800XP

The third of the light / midsize types on our fleet pages that flies Vienna to London without a stop. Availability near Vienna on the day, not our preference, decides which one reaches the quotation.

See the Hawker 800XP ›

Each of the three types above has its own page in our fleet. A larger cabin can be arranged for a bigger delegation - ask and we will price it.

What it costs

From €8 400 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, whole aircraft, rounded. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.

€8 400 is our own indicative floor, worked out from the published prices of comparable sectors in our route list rather than lifted from a third-party price page. We put it here so that you have something to measure a quotation against - ours included.

Nothing is a price until Diamond Executive Aero Services has quoted your dates in writing. Going west, the line that most often separates two quotations is what it costs to bring the aircraft to Vienna to collect you in the first place. Call +357 95 119759 at any hour.

When to fly, and when to book early

Flying west out of Vienna, the year is shaped by the European corporate diary rather than by a holiday season: the weeks that fill up are weekday mornings, not August weekends.

PeriodWhat happensWhat to do
April to JuneThe heaviest stretch of the European business year. Corporate travel, trade fairs and the first of the summer leisure movements all want the same weekday mornings, and the early westbound departures go first.Two to three weeks out for a morning departure. Give us the hour you have to be in the room in London rather than the hour you would like to leave Vienna, and we will work the schedule backwards from it.
July and AugustCorporate traffic thins while leisure traffic peaks, and the fleet drifts towards the Mediterranean coast and the islands rather than towards London.The likeliest weeks of the year for an empty leg in one direction or the other. Give us a date window and we will watch the movements across it.
September to OctoberThe autumn corporate season, and on this pair usually the harder of the two to book - harder than the spring one.Book early for any week with a fair in it. If the departure window you wanted has already gone, ask us to compare Farnborough against Luton honestly instead of defending the default.
November to MarchQuieter, with a slow restart in January. Short winter days constrain this leg rather more than demand does.Good odds at short notice. Settle a same-day return when you book rather than on the day: what stops a late leg home is the window at the airport, not the availability of an aircraft.

The pattern below is the European business travel year, not a published seasonal index for this city pair.

Questions we get about this route

Is the flight west slower than the flight back?
We publish about 2 h 01 min in each direction over 1 278 km, and that estimate takes no view of direction - it comes from a model fitted to the flight times we publish ourselves, not from a measured block time. In practice the upper winds over Europe are predominantly westerly, so the leg towards London normally has them against it and the leg back towards Vienna has them behind. The flight plan filed on the day carries the number that matters.
Should we land at Luton or at Farnborough?
It depends on where you are going once the aircraft stops, not on which field we prefer. Luton is the default and the airport every distance and time on this page is calculated to: 26,661 business-aviation movements in 2023, fifth in Europe (EBAA 2023). Farnborough takes no scheduled traffic at all and is the shorter drive for Surrey, Hampshire and west London. Send us the address and we will quote to whichever gets you there sooner.
How many of us can travel, and with how much luggage?
A light / midsize jet normally carries six to nine passengers with luggage over a sector of this length, and all three types on this page - Cessna Citation XLS, Embraer Legacy 450, Hawker 800XP - fly the 1 278 km without a stop. Tell us the number of people and what they are carrying, and we will say which cabin actually fits rather than which one nominally does.
What does it cost to leave from Vienna, and why is the figure only indicative?
From €8 400 one way for the whole aircraft, published as a starting point rather than as a quotation. It is our own number, derived from the published prices of comparable sectors in our route list rather than from a third-party price page. What moves your actual figure is where a suitable aircraft is standing that morning, whether you want a same-day return, and the windows at both ends.
Can we leave Vienna today?
Often, and short notice is the most common way this pair is bought. The aircraft, the crew and the airport slots all have to line up at once; when they do, we have put people in the air within a few hours of the first call. What decides it is where a suitable aircraft happens to be and whether the windows at both ends are open, not our willingness. Call the operations desk on +357 95 119759 — it answers around the clock — and you will get a straight answer rather than a promise to check later.
Is there an empty leg running in this direction?
An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody in the cabin, sold to whoever can travel when it goes; the discounts brokers publish on them run from 50 to 75 percent. The westbound ones appear when an aircraft finishes a job around Vienna and has to get back towards the London basin. July and August are the best months to ask, because that is when the fleet is moving anyway. Current empty legs.
