What DUB to VIE looks like
The DUB to VIE sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Dublin DUB to Vienna VIE is a medium haul sector of 1,702 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,702 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 40m.
Dublin DUB is a major hub in the network held here, 198 scheduled destinations and 462.1 departures a day. Vienna VIE has 200 destinations and 414.4 departures a day.
Vienna is one hour ahead of Dublin all year.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on DUB to VIE from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| DUB to VIE | 2.43 | 17 | Aer Lingus, Ryanair |
| VIE to DUB | 2.43 | 17 | Aer Lingus, Ryanair |
Two carriers hold the sector, Aer Lingus and Ryanair, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 34 departures a week on DUB to VIE, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 40m block time on DUB to VIE. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to DUB | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At DUB before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| DUB to VIE in the air, estimated | 160 min | 7h 10m |
| Formalities at VIE | 90 min | 8h 40m |
| Delivery run in Vienna | 45 min | 9h 25m |
| Door to door | 565 min | 9h 25m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for DUB to VIE is 9h 25m.
A courier who leaves Dublin at 09:00 local is on the ground in Vienna at about 12:40 local and at the door by 14:55 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Vienna, the last useful departure from Dublin is around 12:05 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 97 of them join DUB to VIE.
| Connecting at | DUB to hub, flights a day | Hub to VIE, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leipzig LEJ | 0.71 | 1.14 | 1,754 | 4h 20m |
| Prague PRG | 2.29 | 3.57 | 1,733 | 4h 31m |
| Cologne CGN | 1 | 3.29 | 1,703 | 4h 34m |
| Brussels BRU | 4.57 | 6.71 | 1,709 | 4h 35m |
| Dusseldorf DUS | 3 | 6.57 | 1,703 | 4h 35m |
| Stuttgart STR | 0.71 | 3.71 | 1,746 | 4h 35m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at DUB in the afternoon actually flies on.
97 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Leipzig LEJ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through LEJ the routing covers 1,754 km against the 1,702 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 20m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 40m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Prague PRG at 4h 31m and Cologne CGN at 4h 34m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Dublin, Belfast BFS is 137 km away by great circle and carries 47 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Vienna, Bratislava BTS is 48 km away by great circle and carries 88 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Vienna VIE is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 05:30 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Dublin late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
Vienna VIE, night restrictions: Movements between 23:30 and 05:30 local are limited.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Dublin later than about 19:50 local arrives at VIE after it has closed for the night, on the 2h 40m block time above.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for DUB to VIE in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
