Once you arrive at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport it's an easy journey to the city centre. It takes between 30 to 60 minutes via bus or taxi, depending on the time of day you're travelling. You can also take a train from the nearby Ferihegy train station – it’s just a short bus ride away from the airport.

With its unique blend of history and culture, Budapest is the perfect city break destination. Built on hot springs, its thermal baths are a must-try while you’re there. Make sure you take time to walk around, as there are historical buildings in every corner of the city, including war relics and buildings dating back as far as the Medieval period.

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.
