The airport sits about 16 km southeast of downtown Budapest; taxis and ride-hailing usually take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while the 100E shuttle bus links the airport to the city center in roughly 35–45 minutes with modest fares, and local buses/trams can be slightly cheaper but slower. Travelers often find the terminal modern and reasonably comfortable, though peak periods can mean longer queues; budget-conscious flyers may appreciate the low-cost carrier options, while those prioritizing convenience may opt for taxis or pre-booked transfers.
Helsinki is served primarily by Helsinki Airport (HEL) in Vantaa, the country’s main international gateway and a Nordic transfer hub, with a secondary role for seasonal charter operations at Tampere–Pirkkala or nearby smaller aerodromes for private flights. Full-service carriers such as Finnair dominate HEL’s route network alongside several European low-cost airlines, so fares can range from competitive to premium depending on carrier and season.
