Getting from Vienna airport to Graz or Klagenfurt<\/strong>the two main cities in the south of Austria, can be a long, long journey. And that's despite the fact that in 2020, the airline Austrian Airlines<\/a> has entered into a partnership with \u00d6BB railways<\/strong> to transport passengers by train from Graz to the airport<\/strong>. Five trains a day provide a direct link between Austria's second city (population 300,000) and the country's main airport. But what a speed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
