Tips for Cheap New York to Budapest Flights

1Austrian Airlines via Vienna or Lufthansa via Munich provide the most reliable connections with short layovers (1.5-2 hours). Avoid connections under 90 minutes, especially at large hub airports.
2The 100E airport bus goes directly to city center (Deak Ferenc ter) in 30 minutes for about $3. It's faster and more reliable than taxis during rush hour.
