Budapest is served primarily by Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), the country's main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service and low-cost carriers alike; a secondary smaller general aviation airport handles private and charter traffic. BUD typically hosts national carrier services plus frequent budget flights, so fares can range from economical to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 16 km southeast of downtown Budapest — travel times to the city center are usually 25–40 minutes by taxi (fares commonly in the mid-range for Europe), around 30–50 minutes by airport shuttle or public bus combined with metro (low cost), or roughly the same by ride-share. Pros include modern terminal facilities and frequent connections; cons can be variable queue times at peak hours and transit that may take longer if traffic is heavy.
Bilbao Airport (BIO) is the main international gateway for Spain’s Basque Country and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it a practical hub for both business and leisure travelers. It sits about 12 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) northeast of central Bilbao, with regular bus services to the city center taking around 25–35 minutes and costing modest fares; taxis and regional trains or shuttles can be slightly quicker but usually cost more. The airport is compact and generally easy to navigate, which can be convenient for tight connections, though peak times may feel busy. It’s a sensible choice for direct links across Europe, with fairly competitive fares on budget routes and more options on seasonal or business services.
