Tickets are 11€ for a single and 19€ for a return.
It is also possible to check in at Wien-Mitte, when leaving for your flight back.
Regional Train (S7)
Regional trains also run from the airport to the city center and stop either at Landstraße/Wien-Mitte subway station, Praterstern subway station or Hauptbahnhof (central station). The trains are a bit slower than CAT but also cost less.
A single trip from the airport is 4,20€.
In combination with a day/2day/3day ticket of public transport (24h cost 8€, 48h cost 14,10€ and 72h cost 17,10€; more information here), you need one additional ticket from the airport to the Vienna city limits for the price of 1.80€ (available from ÖBB ticket machines or ÖBB ticket counters). More information on that can be found here.
