FAQs - booking Hungary flights

  • Will I need a visa to travel from the United States to Hungary?

    Hungary doesn't require a travel visa from U.S. citizens who may stay less than 90 days. You will, however, need a U.S. passport with at least three months validity and a return ticket that indicates when you will be leaving Hungary.

  • Besides Budapest Ferenc Liszt (BUD), where else can travelers from Miami to Hungary land?

    BUD is the main and probably the busiest airport in Hungary. It is, however, not the only airport serving Hungary. Travelers flying to Hungary from Miami International Airport (MIA) can also use alternative airports. If you are visiting Hungary's Debrecen region, your closest airport will be Debrecen Airport (DEB). The airport is located about five kilometers from Debrecen city center. If you are on holiday flying to Hungary's Lake Balaton, you may consider using Heviz-Balaton Airport (SOP).

  • Apart from Budapest, which other cities are served by BUD?

    Besides Budapest, BUD can also serve as the destination airport for travelers heading to Bratislava in Slovakia and Vienna in Austria. Bratislava is located 179 kilometers from BUD, while Vienna is located 233 kilometers away. If you want to connect from BUD to Vienna, consider using a direct train from Keleti Train Station. On the other hand, Bratislava is approximately a one hour, 56 minute drive from BUD.

  • Which airlines offer single-stop flights from New York to Hungary?

    Aer Lingus and Lufthansa Airlines are the airlines that offer one-stop flights from New York to Hungary. Aer Lingus offers single-stop flights to travelers going from New York's JFK to BUD. Those travelers departing from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to BUD can board a single-stop flight with Lufthansa Airlines.

  • Which airlines are most popular for flights to Hungary's Budapest from San Francisco?

    American Airlines, Air Canada, and Air France are some airlines with the highest number of flights from San Francisco to Budapest via San Francisco (SFO) and Budapest (BUD) airports. Their higher number of flights with a single layover to Budapest makes them both the most accessible, reliable, and convenient for travelers on fixed budgets with limited time.

  • If I travel to Hungary's Sopron from Cleveland, which airports will I use?

    Sopron is located about 64 kilometers south of Vienna and approximately eight kilometers from the Austrian border. If you are a day-tripper flying from Cleveland to Hungary's Sopron for your visit to the foothills of the Alps, you will be using Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) as your departure airport and Vienna International Airport (VIE) as your destination airport. Despite being in Austria, it is only located about 47.4 kilometers from Sopron.

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Hungary flight deals.
  • If you reside on the East Coast of the United States, you can board your flight to Hungary from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). If you are departing from JFK to Hungary, consider using one-stop flights aboard Lufthansa, Swiss, and Delta Airlines.
  • If you are to travel with kids from Los Angeles to Budapest, consider booking your flight with Singapore Airlines.

  • Travelers from central parts of the United States can board their flights to Hungary via Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). When boarding your flight from DFW, please note that Turkish Airlines and Austrian Airlines are among the few airlines offering one-stop flights to Hungary.
  • Most airlines flying to Hungary from Atlanta, Georgia, would allow pregnant women to fly to Budapest without any restriction till the seventh month of pregnancy. After the seventh month, the pregnant woman would be requested to provide a travel safety confirmation document from their doctors before they could be allowed to board their flights to Hungary. This policy is only meant to take into consideration the duration that would be spent in the air and the possible impacts. It is therefore meant to protect the pregnant woman and the unborn child.
  • If you are planning to travel to Hungary for the Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix race that takes place annually from early February, please note the airfares for most airlines are likely to rise. This period sees Budapest and the entire motor racing circuit of Mogyorod come to life. Car enthusiasts from all over Europe would fill Budapest hotels, leading to price hikes. You will also face difficulties getting to various parts of the city, since most roads will be closed or crowded with fans.
  • American Airlines offer entertaining and memorable flights from DFW to Hungary. The airline's planes offer extra leg room for stretching. The airline also features an in-flight entertainment library that features the latest movies, music, and television shows of choice.
  • For those travelers who would be driving to their final destinations from BUD with their kids, please remember that Hungary's child safety/seatbelt laws stipulate that children under three years of age must be seated in their appropriate child safety and restraint seats. Children over three years may not need child restraints if the car's seat belts fit them.

West Jet has a horrible boarding process and the seats have no cushion.

West Jet has a horrible boarding process and the seats have no cushion.

Everything went smoothly. I didn’t like that when I booked in the main cabin my wife and I weren’t seated together. One would think when booking on an option that allows picking your seat. They would put you and your travel partner together. Had to call to get it sorted. They did fix.

The gate area was incredibly short staffed, with one representative manning 4-5 flights, which caused a 3 hr delay in boarding even though the plane was all ready to leave. Other flights also were delayed because of this. The flight crew was awesome and I feel bad for the only gate worker on call, but Delta needs to hire more employees.

Very frustrated with boarding gate crew. She announced the plane was small and they would be limiting us to one item to carry on. Not a problem for me as I understand the tiny planes have limited space!! Not the case here! It was a rather large plane and had plenty of room for bags! So because I don’t want to be one of “those people” who ignores the request to check a carry on I did so asking if I would be able to pick it up at the bottom of the ramp on arrival in Knoxville to which she responded “yes”! Then I watched as every other passenger held onto their 2 items and boarded!! Then when we arrived in Knoxville our 2 carry ons had been put with all the other luggage and we had to go to baggage pick up and wait for all the big checked bags to come off the carousel! So she lied!! Frustrating. Next time I won’t be so nice!

It was a good experience except when boarding a female flight attendant did not go out of her way to assist my teenage daughters in finding space for their carry-ons after their compartments were full.

On time departure, smooth trip, flight attendant told through passengers the gate we would arrive at and the gate our outbound flight was departing from. Early arrival

Checking in at the airport the agent only booked the first keg of my trip and had my checked luggage going to the airport with a layover! Never was issued a boarding pass for the second leg or received sticker fir my checked bag. All was well in the end! Delta agents helped to resolve the situation!!!

Delayed due to an ill passenger after loading. Not preventable on Delta's part. Was in first class. The seats are becoming worn and detaching from their velcro attachments. Only got snacks on flight. The attendant was not the friendliest.

I would fly again the whole experience was great. The only feed back I can give that they don't do that American Airlines does is the crew there is more humorous with boarding and thank their passengers. It makes it more fun to fly with them. I would however fly Delta again.

Big plane, long flight, absolutely no leg room and basically non existent air! I am 5”4’ and always travel Main Cabin, I was miserable on this plane and could barely move when we arrived in Cabo due to the cramped leg area!

We had issues with upgrading our seats. The flight itself was fine.

Horrible experience. They "GAME" with seats they decided to play where you can`t select or get seat during check-in without paying and then forcing you to stay long line at the Customer Service at the gate to get a boarding ticket with seat assigned is pathetic. Will never fly with United again!

So terrible. They would not rebook me for a flight until 2 days. I had to spend so much money to get my own flight. They were rude and not helpful.

Overall a good experience, the flight was on time, the crew very attentive and friendly. However the seats are too cramped, there is no space, and as soon as the person in front reclines the seat, it's literally in your face.

Bag lost. Lost bag recovery process is an unsatisfying customer experience. Because 1) bag is still lost but also 2) the process is outdated and form-heavy and 3) in our case also involved a long line.

I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Thank you

We were very impressed with Swiss Air. The service was exceptional. Unfortunately, we had a baby behind us that screamed for hours. , It was a nightmare, though I completely understand that it was not Swiss Airs fault.

We had to move to terminal 5 for the next part of our trip. Very un-organized and difficult.

Missed connecting train since flight was late into Zurich and I had to stay at airport hotel because of it as well as I had to repurchase train ticket

Cons: "Flight was completely full and certain passengers were belligerent about wearing face masks. The cabin crew did not enforce mask wearing, stating “we are not the police”"

Flight was delayed 2.5 hours - a big deal on an overnight when you plan to sleep.

I feel like they have upgraded the app since I last flew United and I found it to be super helpful. I had stopped flying United unless absolutely necessary and my experience on this trip indicates they have been working hard to improve their services.

Surprisingly easy! I was hesitant to try this, but the cost swayed me. I actually felt like I had less stress than all the taxiing and possible delays that occur with short regional flights where you spend less time in the air than getting to and from the plane..

This flight was delayed multiple times and eventually canceled around 2-3ish. Original take off time was around 10:30am. By 3, there were no other options out of Houston, so stuck in Houston for from 3pm - 11am the next day.

Should have video screens Plane audio was poor and without wired connection hard to understand crew. Should serve more than just cups of water and pretzels on six hour flight. Did not see crew rest of flight. Fix charging sockets to retain charging blocks.

I paid $380 for my one-way ticket from California to Minnesota. The fair did not include online check-in. I received instructions from their app to check in at a kiosk. At the kiosk, the boarding pass would not print until an actual person came to verify that I had a personal item and not a carry-on item, On the plane, the person next to me was drunk and allowed to continue to order alcohol. United is garbage I’d rather fly spirit.

The plane was dirty and the in seat air wasn't blowing as planes usually do.

Generally good but there wasn’t any staff available when my luggage didn’t appear at baggage claim in Fresno. It took about half an hour to locate a staff member to open up the locked room where it was being kept.

Do not like the feeling of being in the basic economy. Everyone should feel good no matter what.

All flights were on time and boarding was issue free

Bordón could be bettet if the company say before boarding the order of the different groups.

Checked in is easy and it was a smooth flight from LAX to Munich

There is no recline on flight from DFW to FRA. Middle eastern airways provide better recline option for the same class. FRA to Bangalore has better recline option. I bid 100$ for premium economy, my request was declined. But staff handled it without issues.

The Lufthansa part was wonderful. The short connection flight was not.

German crew were very kind. Food was okay but can be better, especially bread was not good, Garbage collection was very poor.

Awful Terrible staff poor communication Flight delayed for an hour with no apology or explanation and no help re missing connecting flight. Resulted in a 7 hour layover at Munich waiting for another connecting flight. Only 15 euros refreshment voucher given. Will not fly Lufthansa again

Both flights were late for what appeared to be the airline’s not having the planes ready. Arrived over 6 hours late.

It was a busy flight and all the crew were very helpful and gracious

Seats were not the most comfortable and food options weren’t great but overall but everything else was excellent

Check-in very easy and smooth. Plane and crew were nice. Seat open next to me created more space. Food was fair but plentiful. Lots of movies and I was able to sleep some on the way to Munich. Very tight connection, about an hour. Fast through passport control and a bit of a walk to last G terminal gate but I made my connection to Palma. Unfortunately, my luggage did not make it. It is now almost 24 hours since I anded and still NO luggage. I know it landed last night on another flight. Local delivery should be today to my hotel in Palma but nothing yet. I asked about the tight connection when I checked in and was assured they would get my luggage to the connecting flight. Very disappointing it missed my flight but more disappointing that it has taken so long to arrive. Failure on the airlines and service to get my luggage to date.

Lost our bags in Heathrow, We didn’t receive bags in Mallorca for 3 days, out of a 7 day cycling vacation. Really inconvenient and disappointing!

We missed the flight to Barcelona because the flight from Baltimore was delayed. We flew on Vueling VW6653. Our luggage didn’t arrive. Please help us get our luggage. We are staying at Hotel Gran Via in Barcelona

The seats were tiny, being of a fairly petite build, I don’t usually expect to feel crammed and cramped in a seat, but I definitely was on this flight. I couldn’t even bend over to get anything out from under the seat in front and getting up to go to the bathroom at night with the seat backs reclined was nearly impossible. I had to do gymnastics to get over and out. For an airline that does long flights overnight, it’s kind of ridiculous.

Not connecting flights. Missed my flight from Dublin to Liverpool because I arrived at Dublin one hour too late. For this mistake, they offered me a flight from Dublin to Manchester. Thats great and all, but I waste time and money to commute to Liverpool. Be sure to check the time of your connecting flights, because they sure don’t when they sell it to you

Excellent! Great flight attendants, good food (in business class, at least), very comfortable. Touchscreen and remote wasn’t great.

In economy and food was ok, but with limited leg space (and I was in a 2 seat configuration) it was difficult to eat with a tiny seat tray. I spilt wine on my trousers. First time on British Air (I usually fly Turkish Air) and in a 777. Heathrow was pleasant but changing terminals awkward.

Starting with the flight Cairo to London the plain was so poor no entertainment at all uncomfortable seats although it’s 5 hours long,then an American airline plain took me from London to Miami it was a bad experience the crew most of flight time not available and they asked us to help our selves for any snacks if we need. From Miami to London actually was perfect flight with a huge plain and perfect crew but from London to Cairo was horrible plain with stiff fixed seats not movable no entertainment or wi fi very poor Menu which is unacceptable for a business class

I've done hundreds of flights in my life, and this flight was one of the best I've ever taken, From beginning to end, everything went smoothly, professionally, and with a smile and friendly attitude from all employees I interacted with. The food was delicious (and free), as were the drinks. There was just a genial and effective way in the way that British Airways organized the flight -that reminded of days in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, when flying was a fun, and exciting adventure. I enjoyed and had confidence in the abilities of the flight crew, I'll be flying British Airways several more times this summer. Thank you so much for the great experience! Cheryl Olso

My baggage did not arrived with me. Took 3 days to get it after so may calls and follow up

Terrible! I missed my flight to my final destination and British airlines and American Airlines keep pointing fingers on each other’s. Nobody wants to take responsibility
