Vienna Airport Question
At the main arrival hall of VIE airport, after one clears customs, there is a Tourist Bureau which also sells local transportation tickets and passes (Wiener Linien). Does anyone know how long this office stays open on weekdays?
My flight will be landing at 22:00 (10 PM) and I need to buy tickets after arrival. This is important because in my experience the U-Bahn station does not have a manned ticket counter and the automatic machines do not sell 2 & 3 days tickets.

1- the automated machines DO sell 24/48/72 hour tickets (labeled by hour, not by days)
2- you can also buy them at any tobacco shops aka "Tabak"
3- only select/major ubahn station have ticket counters - such as Stephanplatz, Karlsplatz, Praterstern, Hauptbahnhof, etc
4- you can buy these tickets ONLINE

I could not find the option to buy a 48-hour ticket at the machine, last week, and had to go back upstairs to the manned counter.
The machine screen looked different from YouTube videos - many buttons missing. Perhaps they updated firmware. I tried two machines, no luck. You can still buy one-time tickets to the city (Vienna + airport zone), but not 24, 48, 72 hr passes.
If I am mistaken, then please post instructions, on how to do that from the machines with current firmware.
