TRAVEL
By plane
Budapest has direct flight connection with every capital of Europe and other major cities and hubs in Europe and world-wide as well. Besides the Hungarian National Airlines (MALÉV) the major Airlines are also presented in Budapest. Any point in the world can be reached to and from Budapest. Budapest Ferihegy airport has three terminals roughly 28 kilometres from the city.
Since 2004 several low cost airlines have been running their flights between Budapest and the large European cities. (Wizzair, Germanwings, EasyJet, SkyEurope, Air-Berlin, Snowflake) The Budapest Airport Minibus operation is similar to a door-to-door taxi service. The 8-11-seater minibuses pick up passengers living in one part of the city while shuttles from the airport to the city also take passengers living in roughly the same area. For this reason it is necessary to reckon on a longer transfer time than a taxi.
By train

Many international trains have dining and sleeping cars or couchettes. Most international express trains arrive and depart from the Eastern (Keleti) Railway Station.
