Budapest’s main gateway, Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), functions as Hungary’s primary international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines on European and intercontinental routes. It lies about 16–20 km southeast of the city center; taxis and ride-hailing typically take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be more convenient for door-to-door trips, while the 100E airport bus offers a direct city link in roughly 35–45 minutes for a modest fare. Trains and regional buses can be cheaper but may require a transfer. Pros: modern terminal facilities and frequent budget options; cons: peak-time queues and extra charges for low-cost carriers can affect overall comfort and cost perception.
