Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) serves as Hungary’s primary international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines — Wizz Air has a strong home-base presence alongside Ryanair, Lufthansa, KLM and others. Fares can feel competitive, especially on budget carriers, while legacy flights may run higher. The airport sits about 16 km southeast of the city centre; travel times are commonly 25–40 minutes by taxi (roughly 8,000–12,000 HUF) or 35–50 minutes by the 100E express bus or 200E bus plus metro (fares often a few hundred to a couple thousand HUF). Terminals were modernised in recent years with decent shopping and dining, but peak periods can be busy and late-night public transport options are more limited.

Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) is the main international gateway for Costa Blanca traffic and typically operates as a mix of low-cost and seasonal charter services alongside a few legacy carriers. You’ll often find airlines such as Ryanair, Vueling and easyJet serving many European routes, with peak-season routes and prices tending to rise in summer. The airport sits roughly 9 km south of Alicante city centre; taxis usually take about 15–25 minutes and can be noticeably more expensive than public transport. Regular buses and the local tram can take around 20–40 minutes with fares typically in the low single-digit euros, while car hire is convenient for onward exploration. Pros: compact terminal and frequent low-cost options; cons: can be busy in high season and has limited long-haul connectivity. If you’re willing to consider alternatives, Region of Murcia International (Corvera) is the closest secondary airport, located about 70–80 km south of Alicante and often used by low-cost and charter operators, particularly outside peak Alicante season. Flights here can sometimes be cheaper or more available on specific dates, but transfers are longer: driving usually takes around 50–70 minutes, while shuttle buses or regional coaches can take closer to 70–90 minutes with fares typically ranging from modest single digits to around twenty euros depending on operator. Taxis are substantially costlier. Pros: occasional bargains and less crowding; cons: longer transfers and fewer transport options to central Alicante.
