Cheap Flights from Abu Dhabi to Budapest — $118

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines, including the national carrier and several Gulf-based connectors. The airport sits about 30–40 km from downtown Abu Dhabi; road transfer times are usually 30–45 minutes by taxi or private transfer, with fares commonly higher than Dubai due to longer distance and tolls. Public bus options are available and can take up to an hour at lower cost. AUH is generally seen as a more premium, well-equipped hub with solid lounge and shopping options, though it can feel busier at peak times. For budget travelers, transfers can add noticeable time and cost compared with closer urban airports.
