Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) is Hungary’s primary gateway, serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines; it typically functions as the country’s main international hub rather than a budget-only field. Located about 16 km southeast of downtown, transfer times to central Budapest are usually 25–40 minutes by taxi, 30–45 minutes by airport shuttle or car, and roughly 30–40 minutes by suburban rail or bus; fares commonly range from modest public-transport prices to mid-range taxi fares. The airport generally offers a broad range of shops and lounges, though peak periods can feel busy; pros include direct international connections and decent ground links, while cons can be occasional crowds and extra fees for faster services.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) serves as Germany’s primary international hub and a major transfer point for long-haul and European flights, while Frankfurt‑Hahn (HHN), located further away, caters mainly to low-cost carriers and charter services. FRA is a full-service airport with extensive airline networks including Lufthansa and many global carriers; fares can be mid-to-high depending on carrier and schedule. The airport sits about 12 km northwest of the city center; S-Bahn trains take roughly 15–20 minutes (moderate fares), regional trains slightly longer, and taxis or ride-shares can run 20–30 minutes with higher costs. Pros: comprehensive services, many connections and amenities. Cons: size can mean long walks and occasional delays; HHN’s distance makes transfers to Frankfurt slower and sometimes pricier in local transport.
