Cached-fare history: across 10 months, Nov is the cheapest for VIE → SEL. Best time to be there: Apr–May · Sep–Oct.
Fares bottom out in November around $591 and peak in July near $917 — a $326 spread across the 10 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 11.5 hours outbound, on a 13-night trip — ticketed under Air China, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $591 for 8,275 km each way, that works out to about $36 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 24 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Seoul, this fare ranks 10th — 22% above the $484 from Istanbul. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 37 routes of similar length we watch out of Vienna, where the middle fare is $754.

How far in advance should I book VIE → Seoul?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 10 months of cached fares, Nov 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 Seoul?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air China. 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.
