Another direct flight to Greece from a Hungarian city in the countryside

In addition to Budapest Airport and Debrecen Airport, Pécs Airport is launching more and more international flights. Now, it has another good news for travellers, as it now also operates regular flights to Corfu, Greece.

Back in the spring, we reported that Universal Air’s first scheduled flight had arrived at Pécs-Pogány Airport from Malta, but the southwestern Hungarian city also operates a flight to Munich.

The latest announcement is that the first flights from Pécs-Pogány to Corfu will depart in early June. The flights will serve the route every Wednesday, with a flight time of 1 hour 50 minutes.

BAMA reports that several travel agencies in Baranya organise individual and group trips to Corfu, so the decision seems logical.

“We are also experiencing a great interest in both individual and group trips. Individual guests buy their flight tickets, accommodation and transfers with us. And for the group trip, they are accompanied by a guide. Despite the fact that 16-17 years ago, Corfu was accessible for two years from here, the number of bookings is surprisingly high. I should add that we were relatively late in learning about the possibility of flights, so it is not so easy to find accommodation, most of which is already booked. The agencies book accommodation for the summer season before the autumn. We have to look around, but so far we have found accommodation for everyone,’

said Jánosné Vétek, Head of Tensi Travel Agency.

Passengers’ experiences of flying to Pécs have been very positive. For many, the free parking at the airport and the fact that they don’t have to leave home hours early make the Pécs-Pogány flight more attractive for passengers in the southwestern region compared to the Budapest flight. The flight will operate every Wednesday, with one 7 kg carry-on and one 15 kg checked bag included in the ticket for each trip.

This year’s last flight will depart from Pogány and Corfu on 23 October.

The high demand shows that the cheapest tickets have sold out quickly. Tickets for the flight are still available for €149 and €163, and for the return trip, they are almost the same, so a person could travel for around €300 (HUF 110,000) if they buy a ticket now.

Booking information and the exact timetable are available on the airport’s website.
