FAQs for booking flights from Tampa to Budapest

  • What are the potential layovers on this route?

    Since most airlines tend to schedule their layovers in one of their hubs, your layover pretty much depends on which airline you choose to fly with. With Lufthansa, you are likely to have at least one layover in Frankfurt while KLM will schedule your transfer in Amsterdam. With American carriers such as Delta and United Airlines, you’ll have at least one layover in the United States, with the most popular options including Atlanta and Washington, DC.

  • Which airline is suitable for a minor flying alone?

    Lufthansa is a good option to choose when booking a solo ticket for your child. When you pay for its unaccompanied minors service, your child will be taken care of during the entire journey, including being escorted through the boarding process and security clearance after landing, as well as access to a children’s lounge during layovers.

  • Are there any airlines on this route with good sustainability records?

    Most of the airlines serving this route have made incredible efforts toward ensuring they are running more sustainably. For example, KLM has been using part sustainable aviation fuel on some of its flights since 2011. It has also put measures in place to improve fuel efficiency on its aircraft and use smarter in-plane technology to help reduce emissions. Delta, on the other hand, has invested huge sums of money into carbon offset programs and has also cut single-use products such as cups and bottles from its cabins.

  • How can I access downtown Budapest from Budapest International Airport (BUD)?

    You have two transfer options from Budapest Airport to downtown. You can either take a taxi or use the bus service. For convenience, taxis are the best option as they are usually available round the clock and will drop you at any location in the city or even the suburbs, depending on your destination. The bus service is also available 24/7, although it is less convenient as there's only one destination, Central Budapest, from which you will have to look for other options. One silver lining about the bus is the relatively low cost.

  • What is the cheapest flight from Tampa to Budapest?

    In the last 3 days, the lowest price for a flight from Tampa to Budapest was $280 for a one-way ticket and $685 for a round-trip.

  • Do I need a passport to fly between Tampa and Budapest?

    A passport is required to fly from Tampa to Budapest.

  • Which aircraft models fly most regularly from Tampa to Budapest?

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Tampa to Budapest?

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Tampa to Budapest

  • Different airlines have different baggage allowances for economy-class passengers. For example, with Lufthansa, you get an allowance of one carry-on bag and one checked bag with an Economy Basic ticket, while Economy Light only allows the carry-on bag for free, with other checked bags incurring additional charges. United Airlines, on the other hand, has a baggage allowance of one carry-on bag for Economy Plus ticket holders, with the first checked bag incurring additional costs.
  • If you have the option of upgrading to first or business class, you should consider taking it. The benefits almost guarantee value for the money since you get an added baggage allowance, extra legroom, and even more dining options for your flight.
  • While a visa is not needed for you to be granted access to Budapest, you should know that non-European-citizen travel within the Schengen area is limited to 90 days. If by any chance you have exceeded it or are on the brink, you should visit the Hungarian Embassy for guidance.
  • Tampa International Airport (TPA) is only about 12 miles away from downtown Tampa. Taking a cab or driving via the I-125S is significantly faster than public transportation, as it takes you 15 minutes compared to public transport, which will take up the best part of an hour.
  • Business travelers should consider using Lufthansa for their flights. Not only do you get free access to its lounge during your layover, but you also get onboard Wi-Fi, charging outlets, and an amenity kit, including socks, cream, lip balm, a toothbrush, and earplugs.

Perhaps when you’re sitting in 1st class and the crew closes the bathroom for the pilots, there could be a notification other than holding your hands up as a blockade when you get there and you’re told the restrooms are closed please turn around … especially at night when visibility is poor and you’re met by a flight attendants with their arms up

Loved flying First Class. Very comfortable. The seat was amazing. Enjoyed a movie and was able to relax so much better than in coach.

We landed and sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes because they only have one gate at the airport and there was another plane running late so we had to wait

An awesome flight crew. FC seat cushion just doesn’t cut it for a 3+ hour flight.

Delta continues to set the benchmark for traveler-friendly service with minimal disruption and clear communication within the mainland US (coast to coast). I am consistently pleased to be a Delta customer, and this experience once again met my expectations. There was a brief delay departing from MIA due to a technical issue that required the aircraft to return to the gate. However, the situation was handled professionally and transparently. Fortunately, my planned layover allowed ample buffer time, so the adjustment caused no stress. Overall, another smooth and reassuring experience.

Totally worth the miles to upgrade to Delta Comfort. Plenty of legroom.

This was my first time flying Delta ever and I had a great experience!

The flight was great as well as the airline staff

Comfort seating was on the tight side. Maybe it was a smaller plane(?)

Excellent flight and got us around tough weather. Only issue was seat TV did not work and crew tried to reboot.

It was really nice experience by flying this klm flight.I personally recommend everyone to please try this klm flight

The crew were unprofessional with a racist element. I was physically abused as well from one of the crew members

Crew is not the cheerful type. very slow meal service (this is their style as have flown this many times)

Flight was on time, staff are friendly and helpful onboard.

Terrible last row seats many seats available but no offer to move to better seat

Delay on my previous leg, had to run to catch my flight. But that happens. Overall ok.

Delay and had to run between flight to get my connection due to this delay but besides that the overall experience was ok. I arrived with just an hour of delay.

At the airport, terrible, I do not want to even remember it. It was too humiliating for a business class passenger.

They forgot to serve food and the crew was very unfriendly. Never experienced such a bad KLM flight. Usually fly from Toronto. New York was different.

The immigration hall in Amsterdam was understaffed, so passport checking was slower than it should be for a major airport. They need to get the automatic readers up and running for non EU passport holders. Waiting in line after a long flight feels a bit abusive.

The flight itself was fine, but due to a snow delay my connection to Lisbon was delayed by six hours. Despite this, Swiss Air still managed to lose my luggage. Not acceptable. Someone else on the flight also lost their luggage.

Great flight. I didn't watch the entertainment. I used my iPad the whole flight. But, staff was great, smooth flight, comfortable seat (business seat 7A) and food was really good (I'm a vegetarian).

Bad experience overall. Crew did not provide food for our 2 year old (even though we specifically bought a child infant seat for her and literally bought another full price flight), which was unacceptable. And we had to pay $310 each way to carry our ski equipment even though they advertise it as something that is free. Tickets were purchased the same way as usual, but they told us we had Economy Light tickets (I never elected to have such seats). Just plain manipulation and false advertisment. Very disappointed overall about this airline.

The trip was great until my luggage was lost on transfer from United to Swiss. It took Swiss 3 days to get my luggage to me though it was located almost immediately.

Horrible!! The WiFi was not working, the food was awful

We’ve never been more uncomfortable on a flight than we have on this particular one. The seats in front of us reclined so far back that when the person reclined their seat of broccoli, it almost hit me in the face and left me with literally no room to move that said I had to recline my seed in which made the person behind me upset. It seemed like the seats also would recline without even pressing the button in the armrest and would unrecline as well for that same reason, and it also seemed that some seats reclined more than others. The bottom cushions of the seat were so thin that even after one hour of an 11 hour flight, our tailbones were so sore. It seemed like an overall old airplane. It also didn’t have individual air vents and it was extremely hot the entire flight. Several passengers were commenting on how hot it was. The breakfast was some kind of flavorless triangle, puffy egg, laying in a watery bed of steamed peppers and onions and spinach. It was not appetizing at all. The flight crew was extremely nice so that was a nice thing this flight attendant. They let us try different types of Swiss sodas, which was really nice and the dinner was actually delicious but still overall given the other considerations. It was pretty much a miserable flight without basic seat comfort.

Food used to be better and comfort was not attainable after 5 hours everything starts hurting.

horrible.. they cause such a problem and my daughter 14 years old was stranded in san francisco

I can’t even the whole trip was a catastrophe

Poor. Seats uncomfortable. No leg room. Hot and humid the whole trip. Food and staffs were ok.

Both our flights were delayed. Almost didn’t get in the second flight. Staff was rude to the bone.

Both my flight where delayed Had 25min to make it to my transfer flight

Everything was on time and service on the flight was great!

Wifi Bluetooth features for watching in flight movie was horrible. Screen kept blacking out no connection of sound although it said connected. Other than that smooth trip .

The travel company that you have on your site did me so wrong. I don’t know how it happened, but they put my son‘s name on my plane ticket flying to Vietnam. Along with his birthday. They would not have let me fly from Fort Myers to Ho Chi Minh City. I don’t think that I can ever use your service again. I typed my information into the browser along with my passport number and four days before I’m leaving I have to quickly search another ticket to fly out here.

Plane outlets in my row not working to charge phone. Staff response was, well it should be. Plug into seed for volume not working well. Had to find the sweet spot for plug in or it would shut off and on.

Everything was absolutely wonderful from check in to baggage claim. Staff was very professional and sweet. Will definitely recommend United to family and friends.

Very turbulent trip made it pretty bearable, plus the lack of refreshments served and the lack of any air conditioning before takeoff which took an hour or more.

It was nice to have gotten up upgraded to first class with a meal on a three hour flight

They charged a fee for 1st bag checked. Others in same party were free.

Lufthansa cancelled our flight from Los Angeles to Naples Italy on March 10 for scheduled flight on March 12 Very stressful experience trying to arrange alternatives. Will never fly again with Lufthansa

Everything could have been better. What needed to be wrong with United went wrong

The staff was bit rude when I asked for an extra drink after one beer, asked for one wine glass.

Very good, i got two seats for myself, and was comfortable with the blanket i got

I hated the FRA Airport. Confusing signage, including the path to Immigration and Security It seems that the airport grew haphazardly over the years. I have been through multiple WW Hubs with much better experiences.

Economy Priority seats are extremely uncomfortable. There is no way to escape the boxed in feeling, particularely because the distance between to rows are too short, the hard edge of the front row is keeping legs confined. There is no elevated place to put your feet. I am of average, European size.

Terrible. Both flights were significantly delayed, no luggage, made me check my small bag when many, many others had much larger carry-ons, not even a bottle of water . . . I will not fly Discover Airlines again.

I was deceived on the Kayak site expecting a ticket, but instead finding a "standby" reservation. When I tried to change the ticket, I paid almost twice the price of the original ticket. Then, the airline refused to give me the reserved seat I had chosen and paid for. I think I deserve a refund for this leg of my trip because I was doubly charged and did not receive what I had paid for. I put in a complaint with Lufthansa because the ticket was sold originally sold as a flight they listed. Someone here needs to take responsibility.

Excellent service; they helped me reschedule so I can fly in an earlier flight

I had a good comfortable seat. There was nearly an hour delay. There was an accident with the champagne, but I was well compensated. These things happen sometimes.
