Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United Kingdom

  • If you’re mindful of the carbon emissions that you’ll emit when flying to Hungary from the UK, you’ll be able to find flights that operate using less CO2 per passenger. You can grab direct flights with Ryanair from London Stansted Airport (STN) to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) that emit 63% less CO2 than your average flight, reducing it by about 441 kg per person.
  • If you’re travelling on a budget, then check out flights with Ryanair flying out of London Stansted Airport to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, while Wizz Air UK also operates cheap flights out of London Luton Airport (LTN) to Budapest. If you’re flying from Manchester Airport (MAN), Ryanair also runs cheap flights, while from Glasgow Airport (GLA), you can fly with Ryanair via Dublin Airport (DUB).
  • A convenient way to get to Budapest city centre from Ferenc Liszt Airport is an airport taxi, but naturally, it’s more expensive than other options. We recommend taking the 100E Bus from outside the terminal, which doesn’t take much longer than the taxi and can drop you off in the city centre within 35-45min, at a cost of about Ft900 (£2.10).
  • Should you want to reach other parts of Hungary with little fuss, such as Debrecen, you can fly from London Luton Airport or Glasgow Airport on flights with two stopovers, operated by Wizz Air UK and Ryanair. However, a better way to get to Debrecen is by train from Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport, it only takes around 2h 30min and costs only about Ft4,350 (£10).
  • Budapest-Ferenc Liszt International Airport is one of the largest and busiest airports in the country. As well as a wide variety of flight options, here you can find useful services which may be beneficial to your trip, including various places to eat, a large selection of shops and other facilities such as a currency-exchange office and car hire desks.
  • Many visitors to Hungary want to tick the infamous Buda Castle off their bucket list. If you fly via the Budapest-FerencLiszt International Airport (BUD), you’ll be placed just 19 miles (30 km) away. There’s a bus that departs from Budapest Airport Train Station every 15 minutes that goes directly to the landmark, and surrounding hotels.
  • If you are Muslim or practise an alternative faith to Christian, you will possibly require a religious-based meal on your flight to Hungary. While most commercial airlines stock good choices of alternative meals, the smaller, economy airlines do not. On the journey to Hungary you can find Jain, Halal, Muslim and Kosher meals with British Airways, but they must be ordered 24 hours in advance.
  • If you are travelling with children to Hungary and plan on renting a car at the airport, your car hire company will be obligated to ensure you have a car seat for the child. It is law in Hungary for children under 150 cm to be seated in the appropriate-sized seat and all car hire companies do stock them, so you do not have to take one on the plane with you during your trip.

We arrived in Malaga early but had to park at the back of the airport. We had to wait for the steps to arrive as well as buses to take us to the terminal. They had trouble with getting the steps into position and time gained pin the flight was lost especially with the tour around the airport to get us to the terminal. Immigration procedure seemed to work this time.

Apart from the delay, it was very good. Crew were great and the plane was great - looked like a newer one.

Generally excellent but a couple of areas could be improved. After boarding we were delayed a full 20 mins whilst various ground crew, flight crew, captain faffed around counting and recounting passengers. Said discrepancy between computer and manual. All OK in the end. So why o why did it take 20 mins to find all OK? No sense of urgency shown Secondly the seat base is just not supportive/resilienfor a 4½ hour journey - backside really aching by journey end.

The staff are just so friendly travelling alone was a bit scary but they made me feel comfortable and nothing was to much bother I loved how one of the girls was talking to the old ladies she really took time thank you jet2 shame I can’t get home with u guys 🥲

On time flight. Reasonable comfortable but a bit cramped. Excellent jet 2 staff as usual.

A good flight with friendly crew and check-in but disembarking was chaotic and badly managed

Flights were on time, boarding was straight forward. Very good attentive staf

Delays on both journeys - only found out before geting to the airport as had created trip within Kayak.

There is nothing I can think.of that jet2 need to improve They offer a great package. Very efficient

All was good but they should bring back seat pockets. It’s difficult trying to travel with small children and keep having to get stuff out of flight bag and then have nowhere to put it!

Smooth flight. Plane could have been cleaner, but passengers should dispose of their rubbish properly rather than leave to others to clean up after them.

Flight was great, I’ll never be a fan of the seats of catering, but I can live with that for cheap flights. Boarded early, departed early and arrived early

We loved our flight crew were lovely and we were comfortable.

Had a lovely flight arrived 25 minutes early food was good staff we lovely.

Boarded and sat on plane for 3.5 hours before taking off, Updates infrequent and no refreshments offered.

I didn't have food, and there was no entertainment as it was a short haul flight, so can't comment on those, The head cabin crew member was addressing the passengers like a telesales person reeling off terms and conditions; we didn't understand a word he was saying. This is the second time this year we have flown with Ryanair, and both times we've had to carry our luggage downstairs to walk to the plane. As were both OAP's this isn't really acceptable. We have another flight booked for September to Lanzarote, so hopefully that will be better.

Smooth journey made good time. The aircraft was littered and did not look very presentable.

Flight was ok until there was a sudden juddering in the plane and a severe sudden loss of height. There were a lot of distressed passengers and not a single word was said by the pilot or crew.

Awful, the plane was on time but Ryan Air chose to use it for another flight that was running late to avoid the 3 hour penalty so our own flight was 1.5 hours late. This meant a 1 am scheduled landing became 2..30 and we missed our car hire which costs us an extra £300 to rebook - bloody shambles

Stuck on run way for 2 hours before takeoff - tractor breakdown

Easyjet staff very helpful at airport as I need assistance. Flight slightly delayed both ways but soon made up the difference.

Flight on time clean and good legroom, what more could you ask on a one hour flight

Lovely cabin crew. Prompt takeoff and early arrival in Pisa

There was a delay because they had to switch planes it wasn’t explained very well nor were there updates.

Flight was two hours delayed then instead of flying to Gatwick we got diverted to Southend airport! Then they cancelled our flight and we all got told we had to get off the plane and make our own way to wherever we had to go? EasyJet just abandoned us, no help and as a tourist not knowing even where I was? Disgusting behaviour from the company!!

I’ve always flew with Ryan, but never again I’ll always fly with easyJet

There was no useful information given regarding the flight back to the UK from Tenerife. This despite the week publicised problems around the EES system and the delays caused to boarding. This aspect of the customer experience could have been much better.

Fast boarding, smooth takeoff and landing. plenty of space in seats. Excellent air-conditioning on a hot day. Perfect experience

Whole way through - far more professional and slick than I expected

Sitting on the last row in between the aisle and a massive person, all people going to the bathroom bumped into me including the flight attendants.

The seats were not very comfortable and very close together.

Low-cost airline. Airbus A-320 and 321 series are not comfortable on flights taking more than 3 hours. Seats are uncomfortable. Very limited foot space, especially when having a bag under the seat in front of you.

Had to pay £45 to check in at the airport because I didn't check-in online at least 3 hours prior... and it wasn't mentioned on the booking / App (online check-in is only marked as "included service"). Upon landing, captain failed to land the first attempt and had to take off again for an re-attempt. Overall mid experience, would definitely pay a bit more at first to avoid this again.

Two of our boarding details were missing and they wanted to charge us 84 pounds for that, although it was totally their fault

After adding baggage costs, and considering the necessity to re-checkin at each stop, and the €50 I was tricked out of for the ridiculous 3 hour min check in, I’ll never fly this very hungry Hungarian airline again!

The flight was delayed again. I had a bad experience with Wizz Air, and I don't want to travel with them again.

Wizz is the worst airline in the world, The firm behavior is similar to the Italian mafia, For booking, check in at the desk and not on line that charge 48euro each, the truly that was included in the confirmation is only half way the continuous flight after the connection is not included although ordered together as on flight with one stop,(no direct flight), they asked for another 58euro each, unbelievable behavior of the staff, actually you feel threatened by them, as I said Italian mafia. Last time ever in my life. Keep out of this airline and enjoy your vacation.

After the flight. Waiting to long to get off the plane

Shambolic boarding with ZERO information on why there was a delay. Don't treat customers like sheep. Crew good. Aircraft new. Late departure with minimal information from flight deck.

The crew was not very friendly or did not seem like very approachable. The plane was quite dirty and it didn’t sound too good when landing.

My experience on this flight was good. The seat I had had a lot of leg room, but it was so close to the aisle that the flight attendants kept bumping into my visual monitor connected to my seat to watch tv.

It was fine, but it cost me twice as much to return to Boston as it took me to get to Heathrow from Boston two weeks prior. I flew on Jet Blue over and it was half the cost of British Air.

Staff and comfort were great but first choice meal was unavailable even in row 21.

I liked that we got there safely. I disliked long delays, gate and ticket agents incompetence and apathy and having my luggage lost. Five days later I've yet to get anything more than a generic apology from British Air. Luggage yet to be located, much less returned.

We always use BA due to the direct flight options, we have always had a pleasant flight with BA.

Gate information deliberately delayed to only one hour B4 flight, lack of info finding gate.

Flight fine, only served water or blueberry juice option- tight fit forward- resting head on tray table difficult and especially if seat reclined in front of you and I’m only 5’2. Uncomfortable

In London, everyone was very helpful to make sure all passengers find the next aircraft, as everybody missed their connection due to the late departure in Miami. My mom‘s airplane left two hours after her arrival to London however, for my nephew they only had room on the next flight seven hours later. In the last minute they contacted him and was able to put him on the same flight as my mom./ which we were very thankful for Therefore, all his luggage was on the other aircraft and have not reached Budapest yet.

This was a late night flight but the lights was on all the time and kids were screaming and many people were so loud. I was expecting to have a little rest on the plane considering it is late night but this way I couldn't. I think if at least the light would've been off / lower then people could feel they should be quieter.

Delayed by an hour, with no real explanation given. Staff were very friendly. Food was ok, but nothing special. No USB sockets to charge devices.
