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.

    An average nonstop flight from the United States to Hungary takes 14h 28m, covering a distance of 5233 miles. The most popular route is New York - Budapest with an average flight time of 10h 40m.

  • 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. The airline has some of the most kid-friendly amenities to ensure your kids are fully distracted throughout their long flight to Budapest, Hungary. These amenities range from the KrisWorld network of on-demand entertainment to activity packs. KrisWorld features kids' movies, TV shows, games, and music playlists. The activity pack has a stuffed toy.
  • 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.

Absolutely nothing flight was cancelled and delayed for 2 days. Barely a heads up I want a full refund

The plane from SNA wouldn’t start after 5 tries. The team gave me an option of flying direct from LAX and giving me a Lyft ride there! Perfect!

Best airline! Always friendly and welcoming. Skyclub was great and loved the fast free wifi on board. I also love that you can pre-order your meal on the app!

Atlanta boarding crew at gate were filled with arrogance and were disrespectful. In flight crew showed indifference to the needs of passengers. This is about the flight from ATL to BDL.

The plane was FREEZING SEATS UNCOMFORTABLE Otherwise smooth Thank you

Boarding was chaotic. I didn’t finish dinner because I went to bed early. Breakfast omelet was overcooked and tasteless but croissant was better than usual. Plane was dirty—crumbs in every seam and lavatory was poorly maintained (paint peeling, etc.) and toilet paper had not been refreshed before takeoff. No cubby for storage in first and seat was narrow.

Boarding was somewhat chaotic. Unable to evaluate crew or food/drink because captain kept them seated due to turbulence. Have no idea if entertainment was offered.

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.

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”"

Not a fan of the diagonal partially enclosed business class seats or how they have to be converted to beds manually by crew. I prefer more isolation and user control for switching to lie flat.

No lounge access with “United First” ticket. False alarm about late flight, jeopardizing connection. Wrong meal. Loose power socket would not hold plug, could not charge device. In-flight access to text messaging did not work. Toilet seat on plane would not stay up.

We ended up with seats in the very back. So they did not recline. Have no idea why, we reserved and checked in very early. The isles were very narrow and the seats had very little leg room. But they did give us water, and a snack.

Energetic crew - flight full of swiftied going to Taylor's opening show in Paris! Long lines for bathroom made out kind of suck though

Check in etc was very good. As for on the plane, it was like flying in a freezer. It was so cold, i have flown for years and never been so cold on a plane. Staff on board said its always cold when flying which is a load of rubbish. They wouldnt put any heating on and now i have the flu because of this .

I’ve had a couple flights this week on United that were delayed by an hour or more

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.

Everything could be better. The plain was in Orlando for 3 hours prior to boarding. After boarding all the passengers they found out that plane has a mechanical problem. After an hour the problem was solved, the pilot comes on and states, (We have to go back to the gate and take on more fuel!) Are you kidding me???? Who they have for pilots, Boy scouts?? I barely made my connecting flight to Vienna, but my suitcase did not. I'm still waiting for it, in Gyor, Hungary. Am I having fun yet?? Other passenger were in the same binned. I travelled all over the world both for business and pleasure with all types of airlines. By far of all the carriers I travelled with, Discover is the worst. I'm contemplating to bight the bullet and go back to the US with a different carrier. For International flights, the seats are made for little people. The person in front of me had his seat reclined the whole way, I felt like he was sitting in my lap. For closing, I would not let my dog travel with Discover, yet alone recommend it to an other person. Does it sound like I'm frustrated, Think about having to travel back to the US with them. I'm sure I'll not hear back from you, because nobody wants to hear about bad news, but with all the hype Discover puts out there about their services, nothing could be further from the truth.

Only problem we experienced was not anything to do with Lufthansa. When changing planes in Frankfurt we spent over an hour on passport control line. Lufthansa did a marvelous job on everything from keeping me informed via texts, to terrific cabin crew.

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

Better food and more space in the seats. Also when doing the web check in both times I was going in to your site the minute you open it and there is not really many seats to choose only to buy!!!

It was ok, not as good as it used to be. The Heathrow connection was a disaster - complete anarchy, unknowledgable and skimpy assistance and signage. Gate crew at next flight was great, held the flight while my wife struggled through security.

It was great! The seats were comfortable, and they fed me during the transatlantic flight, something which I have been missing out on for the past 3 years as I travel to and from school.

This flight was cancelled at the last minute. We were rebooked on another flight but a day later. We lost a day of our vacation and paid for a night in a hotel we couldn’t use. The flights we were rebooked on (both American) messed up our seating on both flights-we didn’t get the seats we had paid for. All in all, a terrible experience.

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.
