I'm flying to Austria on Friday and I do not want to change my flights across the pond. I got J for an absolute steal and I know I'll never be able to change the dates without paying thousands of dollars extra. If Austria bans Americans, I'll just book VIE-ATH for a few hours after my IAD-VIE flight arrives.
Separate tickets may complicate your plans. When you attempt to fly to VIE if you are not allowed in, the airline likely won't let you board in IAD even if you have a separate ongoing ticket to ATH. At least that is my understanding.
