Cached-fare history: across 8 months, Oct is the cheapest for VIE → AMS. Best time to be there: Apr–May · Sep.
Fares bottom out in October around $186 and peak in February near $294 — a $108 spread across the 8 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 3.5 hours outbound, on a 2-night trip — ticketed under Ryanair, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $186 for 936 km each way, that works out to about $99 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Amsterdam, this fare ranks 4th — 2.4× the $78 we hold from Dublin. For context, the middle fare among the 8 routes of similar length we watch out of Vienna is $144.

How far in advance should I book VIE → Amsterdam?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 8 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Vienna to Amsterdam?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Ryanair. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
