Cheap Flights from Budapest to Ho Chi Minh City Starting at $288

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) is Hungary’s primary international gateway and typically functions as the city’s main hub for both full-service carriers and a growing number of low-cost airlines. Long-haul, European and regional services are common, with flag carrier LOT and Wizz Air among frequent operators; fares can be competitive, especially on budget routes. The airport sits about 22 km southeast of central Budapest; the efficient 100E airport bus reaches the city center in roughly 35–45 minutes (single fares are usually modest), while taxis or ride-hailing can take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and are generally pricier. Pros: modern facilities and regular international connections; cons: can be busy at peak times and some low-cost flights use remote stands requiring shuttle transfers.

Fly direct from Budapest to Ho Chi Minh City for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Europe and Vietnam—less travel stress, fewer changes, and more time to enjoy your trip. While some itineraries with connections can be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and delivers greater comfort and reliability, making it a smart choice for busy travelers.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s primary international and domestic hub, typically serving full-service carriers and many regional budget airlines. Located about 6–8 km north of District 1, it can be reached by taxi or ride-hail in around 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; public buses take about 40–60 minutes for a small fare. The airport usually offers a wide range of lounges, shopping and dining options, though congestion and delays can be common during peak times. Pros: convenient proximity to the city centre and many flight choices. Cons: traffic variability en route and occasional crowding at peak hours. Can Tho International Airport (VCA) functions more as a regional gateway for the Mekong Delta rather than a major international hub, typically handling domestic flights and a limited number of regional services. It sits roughly 150–170 km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, so travel by car or shuttle usually takes around 3–4 hours; occasional express buses and private transfers are common with variable fares. The facility is generally smaller and less busy than Tan Son Nhat, offering simpler passenger amenities. Pros: less crowded and often easier check-in. Cons: long overland transfer time if using it for Ho Chi Minh City connections.
