Austrian Airlines is set to commence its seasonal flights between Vienna and Burgas earlier than usual in 2027, specifically to accommodate attendees of the Eurovision Song Contest. This direct air connection will greatly facilitate travel to the host city of Burgas for the major music event. The seasonal route will now begin on May 8, 2027, ahead of the anticipated increase in demand.
Bulgaria’s Black Sea gem, Burgas, is gearing up to host the 71st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in May 2027. To ensure smooth travel for fans and delegations, Austrian Airlines is making adjustments to its flight schedule.
The airline will launch its seasonal flights connecting Vienna and Burgas on May 8, 2027, earlier than its typical start date for the route. This strategic decision aims to provide a crucial direct air link to the host city ahead of the Eurovision Semi-Finals on May 11 and 13, and the Grand Final on May 15, 2027.
Travellers will benefit from enhanced connectivity through Vienna Airport, allowing guests from numerous cities across Europe and the world to reach Burgas with just one convenient transfer. This will significantly ease the journey for international visitors heading to the contest.
