Flying from East Midlands
East Midlands Airport is a regional hub between Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, dominated by Ryanair and Jet2 with TUI adding charter and package routes. The terminal sits 15 miles southwest of Nottingham and 13 miles west of Derby, with Skylink bus services connecting both. The route network is short-haul-only and skews holiday-leisure — Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy are the strongest corridors. Long-haul travellers usually drive to Manchester or Birmingham for a wider choice.

Budapest Ferenc Liszt is 16 km southeast of the city, with bus 100E running direct to Deák Ferenc tér in 35 minutes for 2200 HUF. Ryanair, Wizz and easyJet drive most UK traffic; BA adds Heathrow service. Budapest holds its value through winter (off-peak fares from £39 from London bases) — the spa-and-cafe city break is cheaper in November–February than at any other time.
