The leader in popularity among our compatriots is Liszt Ferenc Airport, which the Hungarians themselves call the strange word Ferihegy. Actually, Ferihegy is the area in which the airport was built.

Ferihegy is located in the southeast direction of Budapest. You will be separated from the city center by 16 kilometers. According to the IATA system, Franz Liszt is coded BUD, according to the ICAO system - LHBP. The online scoreboard can be viewed on the official resource www.bud.hu.

Hungarian airports on the map

We have marked all the airports discussed above on the map of Hungary, so choose the optimal route and suitable hotels. The Heviz-Balaton air terminal occupies a special place, but we will write about this place in the next section.

The final destination is Lake Balaton

The balneological resort of Heviz, as you know, is located not far from Lake Balaton, so you need to fly there through one “air gate”. Heviz is popular far beyond the borders of Hungary. The lake is fed by a powerful underground spring, so the water is renewed daily.

If you’re tired of getting healthy, you can give up on Balaton. Information about treatment at Lake Balaton. Sármellek Airport is located next to Balaton and Heviz, and it serves both of these tourist destinations.

Sármellek is 15 kilometers from Lake Balaton. A kilometer from the terminal is the cozy village of Sharmellek, after which the air terminal is named. Moscow planes arrive in Heviz-Balaton every week.

Another way to travel from Sharmellek is by rail. You have two stations to choose from – Balatonszentgyorgy and Keszthely.

Important point: Sarmellek Airport has a seasonal schedule. This means that flight arrivals will differ in spring-summer and autumn-winter.

We plan the optimal route from Moscow

Hungary becomes popular among Muscovites in the fall (September-October) and at the very beginning of winter (December). It's strange, but true. At this time, it becomes much more difficult to get tickets.

Flights from Wizz Air and Aeroflot depart daily to Budapest. Planes take off from Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports. Our compatriots more often choose:

  • Belgrade;
  • Minsk;
  • Prague;
  • Munich;
  • Warsaw;
  • Copenhagen.

As for Balaton and Heviz, the best offer so far remains direct flights from UTair. You can fly one way for 109 euros. A round-trip ticket will empty your wallet by 209 euros. True, this is a basic fare that does not include various airport fees and taxes. You need to focus on 14-15 thousand rubles - this is the full cost of air tickets. UTair flights depart from Vnukovo on Sundays.

And now the news of the day. Another company operating direct flights between Moscow and Lake Balaton is Yakutia. The program is charter, the planes take off from their native Vnukovo. When returning from vacation, don’t forget to buy gifts for your loved ones, what souvenirs to bring from Hungary.

Direct flights from Moscow are operated by Wizz Air and Aeroflot.

If you want to save money, here are some useful tips:

  1. Buy tickets in advance (and both ways).
  2. Choose connecting routes.
  3. Keep an eye out for the best deals (they pop up on Saturdays, Wednesdays and Tuesdays).
  4. Track promotions.
  5. Fly economy class.
  6. A good solution is charters and low-cost airlines.

Summarize. Hungary offers its guests five international air terminals, but only three are suitable for ordinary Muscovites. These are Franz Liszt, Heviz-Balaton and Debrecen (to a lesser extent).

The best option is to settle in the vicinity of Lake Balaton, and visit Budapest on short visits, visiting the many attractions. By the way, domestic flights operate between Franz Liszt and Heviz-Balaton, so Budapest can be considered as a connecting link. Have a nice trip!
