Excellent news for passengers: Travelling to exotic Southeast Asian countries from Budapest is now cheaper!

State-owned China Airlines is attracting passengers from Hungary with appealing discounts to exotic Southeast Asian destinations much cheaper than before. Firstly, passengers do not have to pay for the train ticket between Hungary and Vienna. Secondly, their plane ticket is EUR 3-400 cheaper. Let us show you how.

According to turizmus.com, China Airlines introduced discounts on non-stop flights departing from Vienna International Airport to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, which serves Taipei. The discount is also valid for flights from the Taoyuan International Airport to Southeast Asian destinations, including Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.

If you book your flight until the end of 2024, the price will be 10-12% cheaper, provided you choose business class. As a result, you may save EUR 3-400. For people travelling with China Airlines from Budapest, the discount is higher. The Chinese airline provides free return train tickets for CI63 and CI64 flights departing from the Vienna International Airport (Schwechat). You may board the train in Budapest or Győr.

Southeast Asian destinations cheaper from Budapest

If the transfer time in Taipei is longer, passengers can participate in a sightseeing tour in the Taiwanese capital for free three times a day. The tours depart from the airport.

As we wrote HERE, China Airlines introduced their “Rail & Fly” service in June for trains commuting between Budapest and Vienna International Airport. That allows passengers from Hungary to book Austrian train tickets from Győr and Budapest that connect with China Airlines flights. The train ticket is issued on the same reservation as the China Airlines flight ticket, enabling passengers to receive both bookings simultaneously. This new, affordable service can be booked directly through the airline’s website.
