In principle you are correct, you need to book some kind of travel. You may also need to have some kind of travel insurance and an invitation letter from an Austrian resident.
Here is a typical Schengen Visa application form :-

May I suggest to contact the embassy/consulate just to be sure you will be able to comply with all requirements.
Ah ... that would seem the logical approach, Steve.Unfortunately, it doesn't [NOW] work that way with Schengen Visas - that are needed for visiting EU countries like Austria. It USED to ... when Myrna & I went to Paris in *March 2010, for instance. At *that time, it wasn't necessary for MARRIED partners of British Citizens to pre-book. But alas, the rules appear to've tightened-up more recently ... as WE discovered when we applied to go to Rome last month. We'd to present our air tickets and booking confirmation to the Italian Embassy (in Edinburgh, in OUR case) on the latter occasion.
