LufthansaOctober 17, 2012Budapest, city of narrow streets and wide boulevards. The Hungarian capital has been included on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Tip: Visit Budapest for "Night of Baths" on 10 March 2013.Upvote321Downvote1
Angelos PappasJanuary 29, 2018Welcome to Budapest! The city has an extensive bike rental system, which is really easy to use, has English support lines and is super cheap (around 1.50€ for a 24h ticket).Upvote20Downvote
Modern airport with all the facilities you need, but check in is often crowded. Affordable food and coffee. Sofas in the waiting area are outdated thus need repair. Chargers and free wifi available.Upvote27Downvote
As of July 2017 you can reach the city center with public bus 100E. It's fast (~30 min) and cheap (HUF900 which is ~€3).Upvote36Downvote
It is a great, easy and pretty optimal airport. You have great options to shop and eat after check in. Be fit if you fly with Wizz, Ryanair or Easyjet. You will have to walk a bit on the fresh air 😉Upvote7Downvote
If you have a Master Card Gold/Platinum/World/Fancy/Luxy go to MasterCard Lounge with free food and booze. WiFi Password: mastercard

Romashka CustistayaMarch 2, 2018Like it, not far from the city, 200e at night from Deak Ference to airport, 35 minutes and you are here, every half an hour. WiFi is free and fast. Food court on the second floor.Upvote3Downvote
Oleg Ivchenko [Kamchatsky]September 13, 2014Gates 12-19 are lowcost gates routing you to a separate building which looks like a stable but pretty clean and with wifi :) true low cost!Upvote6Downvote
Parking, careful! No drop off, only if you are super fast. Just happened: pay point said "free to go", then the barrier stopped me. By the time you are back to the pay point again, it's already 7 EUR!Upvote3Downvote

Mark LeeMay 28, 2017Fast track can be purchased from machines. Platinum Lounge (free with Priority Pass; 25€) beyond Passports in Terminal 2B has great soup, meat, salads, alcoholic & soft drinks & coffees: runway view.Upvote1Downvote
Turkish AirlinesJune 29, 2014Welcome to Budapest! Need tips on what sights to see? The suspension bridge which brings together both sides of the Danube river is worth seeing in this marvelous city.Upvote42Downvote
NmAugust 10, 2020Hire a taxi to get to the city centre and vice versa .. It will cost you around 30 Euros .. Approximately 35 minutes to reach to the city center !!

a bit overcrowded, but otherwise a very nice airport. Plenty of shops, restaurants and a good duty free.Upvote3Downvote
mullampanriMarch 26, 2015Very clean and modern airport with a cheap store inside of it. There are two Info points where you can buy tickets or daily cards for the Budapest transport and get free city or transport maps. Super!Upvote1Downvote
Pierre HultbackApril 16, 201930 min from downtown into this smallish and efficient airport . At the time they were busy expanding new departure legs. Good assortment of duty free and restaurants. Tip: Buy the red Bock wine!UpvoteDownvote
StergiosMarch 3, 2014Check the tax free offers.There's a single combo ticket (bus/metro) to the city center. Don't invalidate two seperate ones. Lovely food court with free wifi. Beware of scam taxi drivers.Upvote6Downvote- Turkish AirlinesDecember 3, 2014Welcome to Budapest! Make your winter holiday one to remember as you take a night cruise on the river Danube and see the beautiful sights around the city.Upvote5Downvote
If the security line at terminal 2b is long, walk over to terminal 2a. The line will be less busy and quicker. Or buy a fast pass from the kiosk for a couple of euros.Upvote2Downvote
It became a bit crowded airport the last few years, especially with the pre-6AM flights. Terminal 2B could be a nightmare. An advice: do not leave any valuable items in your check-in luggage!!!Upvote2Downvote
Bob RutledgeJuly 7, 2014To the left of Itnl Arrivals exit, this Vodaphone shop sells 1GB Data Sims for $20. With your passport, you're set for ~a week!Upvote11Downvote- Rene T.July 11, 2023Baggage handling on arrival was within 20 minutes. There is an exchange office in the arrivals area. At the exit at the left, a booth that organizes cab rides with a licensed cab at a fixed price.UpvoteDownvote
- Peter SigristJanuary 9, 2013Easiest way into town: buy a couple of travel vouchers in the newsagent for £1 each, take the bus to the first Metro stop (takes 10 mins) and you'll be in the city centre by Metro 15 minutes later.Upvote1Downvote
favorite airport in the favorite country) clean, cosy and free wifi :)great food court and nice shops ))Upvote2Downvote
Sean CraddockJuly 6, 2015If you're going from Gate B2-5 I'd recommend staying in the main departures area, once you scan you have to walk down and wait in a concrete hut on the airfield with no seats or shops!Upvote1Downvote
Organized, easy to use airport with nice facilities. Free WiFi and good restaurants.Upvote2Downvote- Great Airport❤️ Duty free is great and there are a lot of great restaurants home airport for Wizzair and FREE WIFI for 2 hoursUpvote2Downvote
Alexandros PlexidasJanuary 3, 2019Surprisingly big and with great variety for shopping and having something to eat/drink. Spacey and modern, it even has a small playground area for kids.UpvoteDownvote
Reyhan SafarnegaarAugust 25, 2017The food court had a nice variation of foods, the security chek takes more than usual, so plan an hour more in the airport.Upvote2Downvote
Free wifi, login needed though. Make sure you arrive ~2 hours before departure of you have checked luggage, as queues tend to move excruciayingly slowly. Otherwise a nice, clean little airport.Upvote1Downvote
Colin CharlesNovember 22, 2014Don't change money at the 0% commission money changers. USD$100 gets you about 19275 Hungarian Forint. Swap that same amount back to USD$71 only. Huge discrepancy. Cards widely accepted in BudapestUpvote2Downvote
Sky Court Lounge (ex Malév Lounge) wifi is free, without password. If you are at the 3. floor, take a free seat close to the lounge, and you will catch it. BUD free wifi is only available for 2 hours.Upvote12Downvote
MuratNovember 7, 2019Small, but efficient. 25min from city center with no traffic (45-60min with traffic). Train is available, not easy to access. Foodcourt is good, but shops and lounges are limited. Passanger-friendly.Upvote1Downvote
ÖzgürMay 12, 2019I think one of the best service airport. Much more Better than Paris airport with uncaring staff and no smoking area. This should be how to build and run the airport business.UpvoteDownvote
Werner HofmaDecember 11, 2017At this airport they have very long security queues. Have been here 1,5 h prior departure and missed my flight. Fast lane boarding available, don't hesitate to buy if you see a long queue.Upvote1Downvote
Olena KaunJuly 8, 2016Nice airport. Good selection of hungarian wines in duty free shops. Nice transport connection with Budapest city: taxi, airport shuttles as well as public transport (200E bus)UpvoteDownvote
Márk NémethSeptember 6, 2024Amazing airport, I have been here numerous times. It's one of my favorite places, actually. It's big, it's beautiful and it's modern. 10/10UpvoteDownvote- Reyhan SafarnegaarAugust 25, 2017Be aware of the staff attitude, every single task here can take a long long time. For the tax free they may chek all your goods.Upvote2Downvote
Justin LeuSeptember 19, 2018Take bus 100E for 900huf to city center just outside right from arrivals doorUpvote2Downvote- Reyhan SafarnegaarAugust 25, 2017Also the self chek-in machines can be at a risk cause they dont give you the exact seats you selected. We had to change them again at the counter.Upvote2Downvote
It's new airport. I like food court and duty free. And there has free internet and it's really good for passengers =) Buarada free shopta 12 €ya yuzluk yeni raki gordum, sok oldum :DUpvoteDownvote
The most comfortable airport on earth , quite busy airport because Hungary are really2 famous ;)Upvote1Downvote
Steff PeetersSeptember 14, 2018⚠️ DON’T EXCHANGE YOUR MONEY HERE ⚠️ they tell you “no commission” but they will give you an exchange rate that’s almost criminal... they give 325FT in Budapest for €1,00.. at the airport only 255 😨Upvote2Downvote
One of the best small airports, modern, free WiFi and plenty of power sockets upstairs. A couple of more security gates wouldn't hurt though to speed things up during rush hours.Upvote2Downvote- Réka ManonJune 4, 2015Open and lightfull space, free wifi, good place to start a journey! Measure your luggage size at home in order to avoid surprises (and extra fees)Upvote11Downvote
It offers international connections primarily within Europe, but also to Africa and the Middle East. In 2012, the airport handled 8.5 million passengers and experienced a significant drop in aircraftUpvoteDownvote
fdrDecember 17, 2016Nicely rebuilt transit area with a wide variety of great stores. Security check is OK, but baggage drop-off can take a lot of time!Upvote1Downvote
Sasi SDecember 10, 2013If you're here for a week. It's best to get a 7 days ticket from here for all your travel cost during the week and you don't have to worry about getting it validated each time!Upvote1Downvote
Veljanova🦊July 4, 2016If your baggage less than 10 kg also represents only manual luggage - go for registration in the right wing from an entrance at once! You need ONLY this way!UpvoteDownvote
Budapest's only one airport, Terminal B is the only one operating at the moment. Various shops and wide assortment of products in the duty free shop. Find your gate asap!UpvoteDownvote
