The Hungarian national airline, Malev and British Airways offer direct flights to Budapest from London Heathrow and Stansted. Prices vary with the seasons – peak times being mid-February, July and August, plus Easter, Christmas and New Year holidays.

A number of other airlines, such as Air France, Alitalia, or CSA (via Prague) offer indirect flights, which can be cheaper. There are also some low cost airlines that service the capital directly from several EU countries.
