Flying from London Gatwick
Gatwick is London's leisure-leaning airport — the home of British Airways' short-haul leisure operation, easyJet's largest UK base and a long lineup of TUI and Norwegian holiday flights. South and central London passengers reach it via the Gatwick Express or Thameslink. The mix is broader than Heathrow on European leisure routes, often cheaper, and you'll see the same destination served three or four times a day across competing airlines — useful when one carrier delays.
Arriving in Budapest
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.
