 There is one international airport with 24-hour srvice in Bratislava, the Milan Rastislav Štefánik airport. It has a new control tower, which was finished in 1998.
The airport is situated 9 km(5.6 mi) from the downtown of Bratislava, and approximately 60 km(37.5 mi) from the Schwechat airport in Vienna, Austria.
More international flights land at this airport. The Schwechat airport serves hundreds of flights each day.
To get to Bratislava from Vienna, use a bus(app. 1 hour ride, leaves every 30 min.), train, or rental car.
The third choice you have is to use the Ruzyne airport in Prague. It was remodeled, and it's capacity increased to 4.8 million of passengers a year.

In Bratislava, as in the whole Slovakia, there is a national train company, Slovak Railways.Every day, at least 10 international trains and 16 transits arrive to Bratislava. You can find very detailed and useful information at the link above.
There is an experiment going on in Bratislava. It's called Bratislava's Integrated Transportation.This is a cooperation between the Bratislava Public Transportation company and the Slovak Railways.
It simply allows you to buy a coupon(but first you have to have a time-ticket), which lets you use the transportation vehicles(trains, buses, trams, trolley-buses) of both companies. The coupon costs 50,-Sk(app.1 US dollar).
