Climate & When To Go

Flights ( 5 nights, Thursday => Tuesday )

Travel Help recommends you to use www.reseguiden.se when you are planning your flights for a long-weekend in Europe. Use the +/- 3 days menu and fetch all flight costs. Some costs for weekend departures are missing which seems to be a program error. Most likely you want to travel before Saturday and Sunday and in such a case this error has minor importance. An overview of all costs for different departure and return dates immediately gives you information about which travel dates you should avoid due to high flight costs. You also get an indication of which travel dates have the lowest costs, especially if some low cost air companies only fly on some week days.

The example below was for 2012 and the search was done on 2012-02-23 for flights from Gothenburg. Book your flights as early as possible to get the lowest prices. You should book your flights before Christmas if you want the absolute best flight prices for the next year.

Flight (Wizz Air) on Thursday: Gothenburg/City Airport 08:45 => Budapest/Ferihegy 10:45

Flight (Wizz Air) on Tuesday: Budapest/Ferihegy 06:10 => Gothenburg/City Airport 08:15

The price in this example is 898 SEK + booking&luggage fee on 2012-02-23 for flights in June.

The airport has two terminals. It is wise to double-check your arrival and departure terminal. While Terminal 2A is within a short walking distance from Terminal 2B, the distance between Terminal 1 and 2 is quite sizeable - the trip takes 6-8 minutes by car or 12 minutes by bus.

By public transport

Budapest Airport is relatively well accessible also by Public Transportation means. Passengers are taken by a direct bus service from (and between) Terminals 1 and 2, called the Bus 200E to Kőbánya-Kispest metro terminal.

This service adjusts much better to the passenger traffic at the airport: it is larger so bigger luggages can be transported; it operates more frequently; and it operates for longer hours provideing a link between the city and the airport even after mindnight and at early dawn.

Bus 93 operates from Terminal 1 to Kőbánya-Kispest Metro Station. By the 'blue’ (3) Metro you can reach Deák Ferenc Square in the City in 20 minutes. Public Transportation Means can be used for a fare: the one-way through-ticket costs HUF 300, and from 1 February 2010: HUF 320. (400 HUF when buying on the bus from the driver). For more information about the public transportation of Budapest and the timetable of buses, see www.bkv.hu.
