An airplane ticket from Vienna to Zagreb would cost you from 1400 kn/188 EUR up to about 2000 HRK/270 EUR. Even though planes just like the buses depart from Vienna to Zagreb every day, you'll need to think about is it worth paying that much for the plane ticket while the maximum cost of the bus ticket is 32 EUR.

The biggest advantage of traveling by plane is evident in a faster arrival at the destination, which is in this case - Zagreb. But once you add the time you need to spend to get to the airport, and then from the airport to the city itself, somehow even this last advantage fades.

Anyway, the difference between Slovenian and Austrian vignettes is definitely in price so be sure to check them before you get on the road.
