Flights to Budapest

Best Air Travel Options to Hungary’s Capital

Many international airlines operate flights to Budapest throughout the year, including a range of cheap flights.

The Hungarian Airline, Malév had nonstop flight connections between Budapest and more than 30 European cities and North America. Sadly, Malév went out of business in February 2012.

During its more than 60-year history Malev became one of the leading and most dynamically improving airlines in Central and Eastern Europe.

European airlines, such as the Irish discount carrier Ryanair, have taken up the place of Malév and divide the flight routes among them.

So booking a flight to Budapest shouldn’t be a problem, although before major holidays like Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Easter, when many visitors come to our capital, you’d better book your flight to Budapest well in advance.

Choose the time of your visit, check the best deals and the best and simplest way of doing this is online.

Spare no effort and time to compare prices and available discounts on airfares, you can save a lot that is better spent on buying Hungarian souvenirs.
