Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport - BUD

Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport (commonly known as Ferihegy) lies 16km south-east of Hungary's capital. It serves mainly European flights, principally by Ryanair and Wizz Air.

The airport has two terminals, 2A and 2B with a Sky Court between them:

• Terminal 2A: Serves flights within the Schengen area, with gates A1-19. After security check, you'll go through to the Sky Court, with no further security checks before going to your gate. There's an open-air viewing platform on the third floor.
• Terminal 2B: Serves non-Schengen flights, with gates B1-19. After security check, you'll go through to the Sky Court, and then to get to the boarding gates, will go through passport control.
• SkyCourt: Modern shopping area on five levels. You'll find a large selection of shopping and eating options here, as well as several lounges.

Since the closure of Terminal 1, there's, unfortunately, no direct rail link to the airport, making the bus and metro your best option.
