Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as Uzbekistan’s main gateway to the historic city and typically functions as a mid-sized international hub rather than a low-cost focus. It commonly handles a mix of regional carriers and a few international airlines, with seasonal connections to Central Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. The airport sits about 6–8 km southeast of the old city, so transfers are relatively short—taxis usually take 15–25 minutes and can be modestly priced, while shared shuttles or hotel transfers may cost a bit more. Pros: convenient location and straightforward layout; cons: limited shopping and lounge options compared with larger hubs. Flights can be competitively priced on regional routes but overall fares vary by season.

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) is Hungary’s main international gateway and typically serves both full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and carrier.

Pros: modern terminal facilities and a clear suburban rail/bus connection make it convenient for visitors. Cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional long queues can affect comfort, and some cheaper flights may use secondary terminals or limited services.
