Promulgation and legitimacy

The earliest time for the applicability of the rates is the end of the day of publication. 

CAT GmbH applies rates to all persons in the same manner.

CAT GmbH is not obligated to publish the reduction of rates and the additional charges or other forms of preferential treatment nor the suspension of rates, if these apply only for a certain period of time.

The rates are published online (Price Details) and can be provided in hard-copy at Vienna Airport train station, where they are also available for consultation.

All ticket prices include VAT

This depends, however, on the available capacity on the train. In case of doubt, the train attendant decides on whether a piece of luggage or an animal may be taken along.
