can we transit through austria boaders? I mean do we need visas as Pakistani's passport holder or it's ok based on our kid as EEA family member?
kindly help

Do you need to go outside the departure area?
If you're swapping flights without leaving the transit area, you're certainly fine as you have an Irish residence permit (see https://www.bmi.gv.at/202/Fremdenpolize ... 230207.pdf taken from here).

I have transit of 24 hours, problem is that, i have 3 kids with me, and ages are below then 5 years
do VIE Vienna in austria have hotels inside the airpot?
if not, can they issues visas or let us go for hotel based on our son who is Irish citizen, he EEA member? don't EEA member are allowed to go outside the schengen state? i want to go hotel for few hours with kids, can't have kids for 24 hours in airpot

This is something you have to look up yourself, I'm afraid.

He can come and go as he pleases, but it doesn't mean you (his family members) are entitled to do so as well.
Going by the self-service tool online, you do need a visa:
https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/t ... schengen-1

You have a residence document issued by a non-Schengen country and are travelling to a Schengen country

You will need a visa

Same is stated on the VFS website:
https://www.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/aus ... nal-Family

Family members of EEA/EU or Swiss nationals holding a valid Irish Residence permit as demonstrated below, do not need a Schengen visa to enter Austria only if the following 2 conditions are fulfilled:

They are travelling with/joining the EEA/EU or Swiss Family member in Austria.
Their Irish Residence permit bears the following stamp No:
EU family

As your permit is based on an Irish Citizen child, I wouldn't expect you to have a 4EUFam Stamp, which is required in this case to get a visa-free transit.

Also, you stated you were Indian 2 weeks ago and now you're Pakistani.

You cannot pass through immigration. You will need a visa.

Vienna Airport does not have a hotel airside. You can always try to pass through immigration and ask for a visa on exceptional grounds, but it is unlikely you will get it, unless you have compelling reasons to travel without a visa.
