New European destinations, more flights to China from Budapest Airport
LOT, Poland’s national airline, will begin to operate new flights from Budapest this September. That will open up new destinations for Hungarians and tourists travelling from Budapest to European cities. Furthermore, from August, China Easter Airlines will increase the number of weekly flights from Budapest.
“Fly with LOT, have breakfast in Warsaw”, Budapest Airport wrote in a recently published post about LOT’s new service. The Polish national airline will launch a service departing at 5.40 AM from Budapest to Warsaw in September. That is good news for those working in the Polish capital and an even better for Hungarian business travellers and tourists who aim to continue their travel from Warsaw.
That is because LOT’s flight will land in Warsaw at 7 AM, so you can even start your day with a traditional Polish breakfast called kanapka. In addition, LOT’s new flight offers excellent connections to destinations like Copenhagen, Billund (Denmark), Luxembourg and Düsseldorf. Of course, there are more destinations from Warsaw you may reach from Budapest quickly and comfortably with just one transfer. The list includes transatlantic ones like New York, Chicago or Toronto.
Such direct destinations are unlikely to open again from Budapest. That is possibly because the Biden and Orbán governments’ relationship is bad due to the Hungarian standpoint in the war in Ukraine (no arms deliveries for Ukraine and immediate ceasefire instead of more Ukrainian victories). As a result, Washington cancelled an important treaty avoiding double taxation.
What is more, Budapest Airport continues to expand and widen its network with Eastern destinations. China Eastern Airlines shared its new Shanghai-Budapest timetable on its Weibo site. They will increase the number of flights in that direction to 5 per week from August. As a result, we will be able to see the Shanghai Airlines’ B787-type Dreamliners at Budapest Airport every day. Here is the new schedule:
FM859/870 Shanghai: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday;
FM897/898 Ningbo: Monday, Thursday
Why on earth should flights to North America from Budapest depend on the state of relations between Biden and idiot Orban? People want to travel and there is market demand. An airline bids for landing rights and opens a route. This article implies that Hungary injects idiot politics in determining whether Hungarians can travel direct to the US and Canada. Instead Orban offers you direct flights to dictatorship countries Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and China. Hungarians in Canada have been forced to travel through Warsaw and other European airports for more than five years to get to Budapest due to jackass Orban.
