We recommend the following sites to find safe and cheap flights

www.skyscanner.com
www.cheapoair.com

www.booking.com
www.momondo.com

If you have chosen the all-inclusive travel option.

We will buy your flight with 1 or maximum 2 stopovers. If you are in South America, common stopovers are: Panama City and/or Bogotá, and Madrid and/or Frankfurt. If you are in Central or North America, common stopovers are: Madrid and/or London, and Frankfurt / Dusseldorf.

In case we find a flight that stops in the USA or Canada that has a better price and/or connection, we will consult you beforehand. The transit VISA is on your own.

Each stopover has a maximum duration of 6 hours and a minimum of 2, and we will give priority to your arrival in Vienna between 8 AM to 8 PM. If you have paid late, you will be subject to the availability of flights, whether with multiple stops or visa application.

IMPORTANT: The flights DO NOT have insurance in case you do not board, want to change your name or date. So if you need a change to be made, you will have to manage it on your own considering paying the airline’s penalties.

 

 

Before your flight:
If you have already traveled by plane, enjoy it! If this is your first time flying, relax! Everything will be fine and you will enjoy a view of our beautiful planet. Remember to have your invitation letter, insurance, passport and your plane tickets (round trip) available, accessible and safe.

 

During your flight:
If your plane stops in Europe before arriving in Vienna, most likely that will be your entry point to the Schengen Zone, and you will have to complete the procedure in the immigration zone. If this procedure is rigorous, just show all your documentation. Pay attention to go to the “Connecting flights” area to be able to take your next flight.

To confirm the boarding room, you must go to the screens with flight information, and find yours according to the flight number, destination and time.

In case your previous flight has been delayed and you have missed your second flight, DON’T WORRY! Within the European Union the airlines assume that responsibility and will assign you to the next available flight. However, we ask that you send us a message or email with the details of your new flight.

There are not restrictions anymore regarding COVID-19, nevertheless, if you join a program during Winter, we strongly recommend you to use a mask in the public spaces and transport to avoid you getting sick

Puntuality

Punctuality is extremely important, and in Vienna, it is SACRED. You will have to be 10 minutes (ready and at the meeting point) before the start of the activity marked on your agenda. In case of any delay on your part, you will not be able to participate in the activity, and you will have to join the next one to join the group again, the transfer is at your own expense and you will have to ask for an Excuse me!

Always walk on your right, remember not to obstruct the path, in case you want to stop to take a photo, look behind you beforehand.

In Europe you walk fast, try to keep up and don’t hinder them.

Pay attention to pedestrian traffic signs. If you violate one of them, you will be fined.
For example, crossing the street on a red light, or in a place other than the pedestrian zebra.

 

Let him out so he can enter the subway car. Stay to the sides of the door, NOT in front of it. Respect places for strollers for babies, disabled people, older adults or pregnant women.

 

NEVER FORGET YOUR METRO TICKET. There are no turnstiles but checks are carried out at the stations regularly. If you are inspected and do not bring your ticket, you will have to pay a fine of €103 euros.

 

The Metro operates from 5:30 a.m. to 00:00 a.m. And on Fridays and Saturdays, 24 hours a day.

Excessive noise in public and private places is prohibited.

 

 

“THE CUSTOMER IS NEVER RIGHT”

This is a saying deeply rooted in Viennese and European culture in general. Customer service, including restaurants, is effective but rarely friendly and can take a while. Vienna enjoys an admirable equality that does not allow social classism between the provider and recipient of services.

The portions are NOT abundant.

Tips are optional, however we recommend between 5% and 10% if you liked the food and service.

Supermarkets, shops and restaurants close at 6 pm and on Sundays all day, with small exceptions. If it’s Sunday, and you need a supermarket, we recommend going to the Praterstern metro station (U2).

 

VIENNA, THE CITY WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY IN THE WORLD.

Vienna is famous for its music and for being considered the city with the highest quality of life in the world, NOT FOR ITS LUXURY, BUT FOR ITS EQUALITY.

The policies of the city of Vienna focus on keeping inequality patterns low at all costs, this includes keeping the cost of living low, access to quality services, accessible and reliable mobility, but above all, avoiding the gentrification that have affected other large cities.

It is important to mention that any service provider will talk about you, without any reverence, and may not seem so friendly to you. This is because social equality is a priority. From a street sweeper to a company CEO, they will share a seat on the subway.

For example, annual travel cards for public transport cost just one euro per day and now outnumber cars in the city. (Comfortable for those who are used to public transportation, but very uncomfortable for those who have always traveled by car).

 

Its high industrialization means that the cost of products is cheap, and one of the most comfortable salaries in the world is enjoyed. However, you will have to learn to repair, move, and manage your own needs since the cost of acquiring the labor of another human being is very expensive. (Comfortable for those who have never enjoyed a salary that covers their needs, but very uncomfortable for those who are used to servitude or very personalized attention).

 

Did you know:

The city is very safe. You can walk quietly 24 hours a day.
You can drink tap water, it is very clean.
You can download the “qando Wien” or “Google maps” app to your Smartphone to use public transport.
Hofer is the supermarket with the best prices, you can find the closest one using Google maps.
The daily treatment in Vienna is very cold and direct, but effective. It may seem rude and rude to you, don’t take it personally, that’s the culture.

DON’T FORGET TO CARRY YOUR PASSPORT AT ALL TIMES. ALSO HAVE A PHOTO OF IT ON HAND.
