Flights to Hungary

It takes around two hours and 30 minutes to fly from London to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Hungary’s capital.

We fly to Hungary from London Heathrow.

It’s usually cheaper to fly to Hungary outside of the main tourist season, which falls in July and August. Use our low fare finder to search for the cheapest time to visit.

Plan your trip for autumn if you want to take advantage of smaller crowds at popular attractions while still enjoying pleasant weather. Foodies and music lovers should visit in spring and summer to enjoy events like The Gourmet Festival and Sziget music festival.

Hungary is one of the more affordable countries to visit in Europe, particularly if you travel outside of the summer tourist season. Save money seeing the sights of Budapest by using public transport to sail along the famous River Danube. Another way to save is by heading to areas of the country that aren’t tourist hotspots, including the charming city of Eger or the sunny vineyards of Pécs.

You can travel around Hungary at low cost using the country’s rail network, from the fast intercity trains to the slower passenger services that give you time to enjoy the scenery. If you’re visiting Budapest, you can navigate the city using buses, trams and the metro.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Hungary has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental. 

Whether you’re sailing on the Danube past the iconic Hungarian Parliament Buildings or swimming in Balaton, the country's biggest lake, you won’t be short of things to do in Hungary. Travel back to the past in traditional ‘folk houses’ filled with colourful Matyó embroidery, or dip into the iconic thermal baths all year round – no visit to Hungary is complete without a trip to one of them. 

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.

If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.

Discover outstanding service from the moment you book. Fly with just hand baggage and you can carry two bags free of charge. Choose our checked baggage option and you can travel with hand baggage and a 23kg bag checked into the hold, plus enjoy free seat selection 24 hours before you fly. On board you’ll find HEPA-filtered air, quality on-board catering, and a warm, uniquely British welcome.
