Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) is Hungary’s primary international gateway, serving 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. Located about 16 km southeast of the city center, transfer options include 35–45 minute taxi rides, 30–40 minute public bus/tram combinations, or the Airport Shuttle bus with similar journey times; expect city transfers to cost roughly the equivalent of a few euros to a modest taxi fare. The airport’s two main terminals are compact and increasingly modern, offering decent shopping and lounges; convenience can be high for direct long-haul connections, while budget travelers may find cheaper fares but should allow extra time for transfers and luggage handling.

Lyon is served mainly by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS), the city’s international hub located about 25 km east of downtown and typically handling major carriers and some low-cost airlines. High-speed rail and TGV connections also link the airport directly to the city and other French destinations, while Rhônexpress tram offers a 30–40 minute ride to Perrache or Part-Dieu stations with fares usually in the mid-range. For budget-focused travelers, Lyon–Bron is a smaller airfield nearer the city, generally used for business aviation and some regional services.
