Chicago-to-Vienna at $435 for travel in November!
I’ve got one lonely flight option to share with you tonight, but it’s a good one. Aer Lingus is willing to take you from Chicago-to-Vienna for $435. This route has averaged $607 and the prior low was $498, which was found on 1/13/23. This flight is limited to this one option in November, but it’s the lowest price I’ve seen and is a great value.
My Dad was a music professor and conductor at Alma College, and he actually studied and taught in Vienna in the 1960’s and late 1990’s. It’s a city I’ve heard so much about and would love to see for myself someday.
Enjoy!
