This was the best and most cost effective way to get my entire family into the city center after a long day of traveling. I only wish it ran 24/7 for our 3am flight back! It was super easy and efficient.

.most. memorable was the CAT train was not working due to technical issues. Thus I was stranded for over an hour before figuring out how to use an alternate train service. Why was I notified by email? The CAT had been down for several hours before my plane arrived in Vienna according to a CAT EMPLOYEE. I feel you owe me a 100% refund, not a vowture, since I will not be returning to Vienna.
