Dan...
To be honest, do you really wanna travel at that time of night (especially by bus)?
My group are mulling over a hotel in Vienna itself, near the train station to WN. (either Wien Südbahnhof or Südtiroler Platz) for the Friday.
Train nice and early in the morning. About 30/40 minutes.

[RE-EDIT: Link to Vienna Airport City Train site...in English. Check out the "animation" looks like most of the signage is in English and German.
If the trains, for some reason ain"t running then a taxi would be simple too.

I"m staying in a hotel in WN for the weekend, so I"d rather get there Friday night, get settled in, probably pop over to the casino and say hello to the fellow Brits. I"m sharing a room as well so the costs will be shared for the room.
The bus/coach over to the WN only takes 30-45 minutes, so that"s not really a hardship. I"ll be in WN for 11pm (assuming my flight is on time).

Bugger!
Waited until I"d booked the hotel to book the flights. That wasn"t a good idea, they"ve gone up from £140 return to £190 for the same times.
I"m sure their site has something built into it that monitors your visits and then whacks up the prices if you go back several times in a few days. Or am I becoming iPoker paranoid...
kinboshi:
Just spoken to BA. They said that the flights going out on the Friday are only going to get more expensive from now on, as it"s Easter weekend. The outbound flight to Vienna is now well over £100, although the return is still £68.
Saturday morning is cheaper, but I"m not really considering that as an option. It gets me in at 10am, and I don"t really want to be cutting it that fine.
Looks like the satellite package of $600 won"t be covering the costs of flights and accommodation.

Looks like Michelle"s shoe shopping trip to Milan is in jeopardy..... ;D
