    Last time I was in Charleroi airport I noticed
    on the board also Budapest. So I went looking
    for the company that flew to Budapest.
    It was Wizzair.com!

    Almost identical system like low-cost aircraft company
    Ryanair. You book on the net ...pay with your
    creditcard and print the ticket yourself.
    Always read the regulations like you would
    do for other companies.
    They even called me on my mobile that the houres
    of our return flight had changed. Good service.
    (and they changed for the better)

    And like I said it was a pink modern comfortable
    aircraft Frederik loved it. lol.
    The stewards were wearing a star trek kind of uniform
    and the handsome one our return flight
    had even slightly pointy ears.
    We loved it.

    You have to pay for all the drinks or food...
    Who cares. It was only two houres flying.

    The Europena Union has created a set of rights to ensure air passengers are treated fairly.

    The airline operating your flight is responsible for transporting you and your baggage and must respect your rights.

    Denied boarding / Cancelled Flight / Long delays / Baggage / Injury / Package holiday

    First step: ask the representative of the airline operating your flight to deal with your probelm.

    Second step: If you are affected by denied boarding, a cancellation or a long delay and the opreating airline doesnt fulfil their obligations, then you should complain to the relevant national enforcement body.

    If your flight departs form an EU country, complain there. If you are travelling from outside to the EU, and your flight is operated by an EU airline, complain in the EU counrty where it lands.

    For the name and address of the relevant authority, or details of organisations which can advise or help with other complaints (eg baggage, injury...) contact the EU DIRECT phone 00 800 6 7 8 9 10 11 or email mail@europe-direct.cec.eu.int

    Getting to Budapest

    Delta flight 20 from Atlanta to Frankfurt Germany. The week before I left for Budapest, this same flight is diverted to Shannon Ireland. While this is not a bad destination, landing there when you expected Germany isn't a good thing! It seems that there was a note found aboard the plane claiming that there was a bomb on board.

    Fast forward to Jan22, 2004.

    The flight is scheduled to depart at 18:30 and boarding set to begin at 1745. At 1735, however, the gate agenst announce that the plane is going to be screened by the TSA and that they will be pulling the plane away from the gate, as well as to check every piece of baggage for whatever they were looking for.

    1930 comes and we are FINALLY set to baord the plane. Except I see something I've NEVER seen on an outbound flight before. There is a line of customs agents in the Jetway to check your passport, as well as ask you about where you are going and what you are doing in Germany. In addition to this are the canine agents. I don't know what the dogs were looking for, but they didn't seem to find it.

    I was getting a bit concerned about my flight to Budapest at this time as well. I only had a 1.5 hour layover in Frankfurt and we were already well over an hour behind schedule.

    However, thanks to a pilot pushing the speed a little bit, and a fairly substantial tailwind the whole way over, We pulled in to Frankfurt about 10-15 minutes before I was supposed to leave on my Malev flight. And it was at the gate next to the one that we arrived at!!! :-)

    Of course, you can see them unloading the luggage from my flight from Atlanta while I was sitting on the Malev 737in one of my other pictures..

    Can you guess whether or not my luggage was on the same plane I was, at this point?

    Here you can see the plane I arrived from the United States on while sitting in the plane that was getting ready to take me to Budapest. Of course, due to the delays leaving the U.S., I got to watch them unloading the luggage from the 777 as the 737 was pulling out of the gates to take me to Hungary.

    I was in a Malev airlines 737 looking at a Delta 777.

    When I fly from the United States to Europe American Airlines is always my choice of flying, especially when leisure trips. Since American Airlines does not fly directly to many of the cities in Europe I always have to make a connection either in London or Frankfurt for the onward partner airline flight, in this case Malev Airlines.

    When I made my reservations for this trip, I purposely tried to make as many connections as possible to maximize my miles. My trip took me from LaGuardia (LGA) to Dallas (DFW) onward to Frankfurt (FRA) and finally to Budapest (BUD). I could have taken a direct flight into London Heathrow (LHR) and then to Budapest, but there is always a method to my madness.

    My AA flight was quite enjoyable and I had the opportunity to meet this really great guy who was incidently flying for miles as well :)

    I had a pretty long layover in Frankfurt before connecting to Malev Airlines (which was delayed for about 40 mins.) so I hung out at the British Airlines Lounge for a few hours while I waited.

    On my return flight, Malev Airlines again was delayed and I missed my connecting flight. Due to inclement weather in Europe (don't know where though, Frankfurt had some good weather), many of the flights were either cancelled or very delayed.

    After waiting at the Maleve ticket counter for alternative flights, Malev booked me on Air France from Frankfurt to Amsterdam (AMS) and onward to JFK. I made it home at about the same time as if I would have taken my original flight.

    American Airlines credited me with my miles even though I didn't fly them home, this is why I am loyal to them.

    The airport of Budapest (Ferihegy) is located about 22 km east of the city centre. It has 3 terminals (1, 2A, 2B). The distance between the terminals 1 and 2 is about 4 km.

    Most flights land at the modern terminals 2A and 2B.

    The smaller recently renovated Terminal 1 is mainly served by low-cost airlines.

    The cheapest option to get into town is by public transport. Both terminals are served by the new airport bus #200 which goes to the metro terminus Kobanya Kispest (M3). At Terminal 1 you can buy bus tickets from the small RELAY Kiosk.

    In addition Terminal 1 can also be reached by the slower bus #93 and by train from Nyugati pu.

    Other options are the Airport Minibuses or taxis. A reasonable price for a taxi to the city center is around 4.700 HUF (2008).

    Please read also my "Tourist Trap" tip about taxis.

    This is the cities main airport and its situated 24 km east of the city. It is a modern, beautiful and gives a good feeling when you arrive to the city. It is devided to 2 terminals, one to flights of Malev and the second to other companies.
    There are plenty of flights to European destination and also some to America and Asia.
    When you arrive to the hall there are car rental desks (Hertz, Avis, Europcar...), some changes.
    There are some ways to get to the city:
    -Airport minibus that will take you to any place in the city for 1800 Forint ( 8 dollars). You have to sign up and wait a few minouts for the bus.
    -Centrum minibus that going out every 30 minouts and arrive to Erzsebet ter. It costs 800 Forint (3 dollars).
    -Airport bus that is the cheapest way but it really not convenient.
    -Taxi is maybe the most convenient but it is also the most expensive and most of the times the drivers will rip you off... the price can get to 5000-7000 Forint (25 dollars).

    The airport is located 16km (10 miles) southeast of Budapest on route E60 and is clearly signposted from Budapest. From the city centre, the dedicated Ferihegy High Speed Road facilitates access within 20 minutes.
    There is a covered walkway between terminals 2A and 2B, and a bus link between terminals 1 and 2.
    Discount airlines use Terminal 1, including carriers such as Wizz Air, easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2.com.
    All full-service flights departing to destinations within the Schengen Zone use Terminal 2A, while other international flights–including those to the United Kingdom–depart from Terminal 2B.

    There are short-term car parks situated at both terminals and also a long-term car park with security surveillance.

    Regular trains, operated by Hungarian State Railways (http://www.mav.hu, Hungarian only) run between Terminal 1 and Budapest's western railway station (journey time - under 30 minutes). There is a bus link between the station and Terminal 2.

    Visit to the Airport on weekdays only.
    During the visit taken by bus in an hour you may visit all significant territories of the Airport: hangars, runways, terminal buildings etc. The program starts from the Open Air Aircraft Museum and ends by seeing its exhibition.
