Flying with low-cost airlines today from Budapest – a firsthand account from a Hungarian
Change language:
Ági Szilágyi, a journalist of airportal.hu wrote her experiences during her travel to Malta. She said that the airport was almost empty so people could get through the security check quickly. However, the plane was crowded, and passengers had to keep a distance from each other. Furthermore, many passengers did not wear a face mask during the trip.
Ms Szilágyi added that Malta is among the safest states in Europe where the number of new cases has been between 0 and 15 for weeks. Therefore, it is green on the ‘virus map’ of the Hungarian authorities, so there is no need to go into quarantine if somebody comes back from the island.
They travelled on Tuesday and
Budapest Airport was almost empty.
As a result, they could pass the security check in 2 only minutes. Warning signs were almost everywhere about the importance of keeping a distance from each other. In the Mastercard lounge, the menu changed from tortillas and salads to prepacked sandwiches which were delicious – according to Ms Szilágyi.
When I used to travel a lot between London and Budapest, I used Wizz Air twice. Never again. Miserable staff, lack of information, passengers treated like cattle….simply awful.
I use low cost airlines to travel more frequently; I’ve no money to waste on frills
