Vienna to Beauvais is 664 miles (1,068 km), a flight of about 1 hour 25 minutes.
Vienna departure provides superior urban and geographical interest with the Danube River, city skyline, and Alpine foothills visible immediately after takeoff. While both sides score equally for the cruise segment (flat to gently rolling terrain across northern France and southern Austria), the takeoff advantage from Vienna's dramatic river valley and mountain backdrop outweighs Beauvais's modest landing scenery. This is a marginal preference on a relatively short, low-drama route.
Flight Path
