Why travel Chicago to Vienna?
Chicago to Frankfurt, Prague, and Vienna is a curated Central European arc — Frankfurt as the gateway, Prague for Gothic grandeur and Bohemian cuisine, and Vienna for Habsburg splendour and classical music. Lufthansa's Frankfurt hub makes the entry seamless, and the short intra-European hops between Prague and Vienna are under an hour each.
Why book as a multi-city itinerary?
Routing ORD–FRA outbound and VIE–ORD homebound as an open-jaw saves the tedious and expensive backtrack to Frankfurt. Lufthansa's group network (including Czech Airlines and Austrian) operates all three segments, making single-ticket booking straightforward with full disruption protection. Our specialists construct this as an open-jaw via Lufthansa's network with the lowest available combined fare.
Premium cabin options by segment
Direct aisle seating on 747-8 or A330; Lufthansa Senator Lounge access at FRA
Short European hop; full meal service included, 1h flight
50-minute hop between two of Central Europe's most walkable capitals
Planning tips for this itinerary
Prague's historic centre is compact and entirely walkable; stay in the Malá Strana or Old Town to avoid commuting. Vienna's ÖOBB rail network connects to Budapest (2h40) and Bratislava (1h) if you want to extend the itinerary. The ORD–FRA route offers both morning and evening departures — an evening departure arrives Frankfurt next morning, giving a full day in the city before continuing east.
