Cheap Flights from Budapest to Almaty — $157

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) is Hungary’s primary international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 16 km southeast of the city center; travel options include the compact 100E airport bus (roughly 35–45 minutes), regular city buses and suburban trains (40–60 minutes), taxis or app-based rides (25–35 minutes) and private transfers—expect taxi fares to be moderate to mid-range. Pros: direct international connections and modern terminals with a variety of services. Cons: can be busy at peak times and some cheaper airlines operate from more basic gates.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s largest and busiest air gateway, serving both international and domestic traffic with full-service carriers and regional airlines alongside a growing number of low-cost operators. Located roughly 15–20 km southeast of the city center, it’s typically reached by taxi in 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly falling within a mid-range local rate; city buses and an airport shuttle provide cheaper — albeit slower — options. The airport usually offers a mix of modern amenities and periodic crowding during peak periods; it’s convenient for international connections but can be busier and pricier than smaller regional fields, while public-transit links make it a practical choice for budget-conscious travelers.
