My wife and I are connecting non-Schengen (US) to Schengen at VIE. We have an hour for the connection, which I understand is plenty of time at VIE assuming no significant delays to our inbound flight.
If we arrive at D, are we better off finding the corridor to G, clearing passport control (and security, if necessary - not clear to me whether the US is considered a "clean" country at VIE) there, and then going downstairs to F? Or should we take the bus to F (which I assume means clearing passport control in D)?
I suppose we could always follow Frankfurt rules (i.e., blindly follow signs for your destination and you'll get there eventually).

I see the 25 minute connections being offered by OS above and they make my blood pressure rise.
The connection they are offer me is double that, 50 minutes, but still causes me concern. It's non-schengen to non-schengen, coming in from the US. Would this arrive 'clean' or would their be security? No passport control presumably since NS to NS, though I'm not sure how this would work if one of the flights uses D instead of G?

I believe US flights should arrive as clean, but wait for someone else to confirm (or deny) it

My experience is that US flights arriving into D arrive clean, those arriving into G are forced to re-clear security for no good reason. I've never done a non-Schengen to non-Schengen connection myself, but I did not see any way to escape from G arrivals into the normal G departures area instead of the arrivals hallway.

I think a non-Schengen arrival in G from a clean origin has two paths from the jetway, at least theoretically: up one level to the arrivals hallway for arrivals and Schengen connections, which would require going through transfer security as there's no separate clean path; or up two levels directly into G departures for non-Schengen connections, bypassing transfer security (essentially the reverse of boarding a departing flight at G). Whether they open the doors into the second escalator up from the arrivals hallway to G departures is the main question--I've definitely seen anecdotes here and there that they do, but cannot confirm if that happens all the time. Unfortunately the last time I arrived in G from a clean origin I did not check for myself as I was preoccupied with something else.

I believe the problem with deplaning into G is that there is currently no proper way to transfer from G departures into F, and all NS to S transfers must be dumped landside after passport control. Not sure why Schwechat doesn't seem this issue fit to be addressed. Particularly if they used to in the past.

I don't think it really worked in the past. Before T3/Skylink the Non-Schengen gates had security at the gate and arrivals were always unclean. They fixed that when they remodeled the old pier after T3 was opened fortunately. But not doing that for the new terminal from the start just seems ... odd.

Short connection VIE from LAX to VCE
Considering Austrian 82 from LAX to VIE on 777 economy with 1 hr 20 min connection to VCE. One later flight to VCE that evening. All on one ticket.
Because it’s seasonal there is no FlightAware history to see.
How does connection work at VIE from arrival US to departure to VCE?
This would be instead of 1 hour 50 min connection at ZRH.
I’ve already ruled out connections in MUC and LHR because of tech issues/delays/cancellations of A380’s.
TIA.

That's plenty of time. You will clear immigration into EU/Schengen at VIE. Re-clearing security should not be necessary for US arrivals. Just follow the signs for your next gate.

Unless things have changed recently, you will actually need to reclear security in VIE. Even though US arrivals are considered clean, unfortunately the only path from all non-Schengen arrivals (clean or unclean) to Schengen departures is through the main security checkpoint.
