If you want to use this shuttle transfer (60 km, approx. 1 hour transfer time), we need to know your exact arrival time and flight number; please return the shuttle reservation form by e-mail to Mrs. Marik at |marik@iap.tuwien.ac.at until June 1st, 2013 the latest. Please mind that in order to reach the minimum number of persons per transport, you may have to wait for other flights to arrive. Solo-transports (e.g. if you are not arriving on Sunday) can be arranged, but will be considerably more expensive (please inquire). Transport back to the airport on Friday, June 28th will be organized during the conference, with possibly even cheaper fares depending on the number of passengers per trip.
