New flight from Budapest Airport to the idyllic Spanish Riviera

Ryanair is set to launch a new flight from Budapest, connecting the Hungarian capital with a picturesque region of the Spanish Riviera on the Mediterranean Sea. According to the plan, two flights per week will operate between Hungary and Spain, starting next summer.

New flight from Budapest Airport

Budflyer, a Hungarian travel news Facebook page, reported on the new flight from Budapest this morning. They said that Ryanair had won a marketing bid for Castellón Airport, which aimed to support the introduction of low-cost airline services.

Budapest was one of the destinations included in the bidding process. As per the plans, Ryanair will operate two weekly flights from Budapest to the Spanish airport. The first flight is scheduled to take off next summer. Previously, Wizz Air, Ryanair’s biggest competitor, operated two weekly flights on this route.

Ryanair’s major announcement regarding check-in

Michael O’Leary, CEO of the Irish low-cost airline, announced yesterday that paper boarding passes will be phased out by May 2025. Additionally, Ryanair will remove check-in desks from airports entirely. Passengers will be required to check in online or via the app, potentially helping to avoid issues such as overbooking.

We previously reported HERE that 18 passengers were denied boarding on a Wizz Air flight from Nice due to overbooking. In that instance, 18 more tickets had been sold than there were seats available. An eyewitness commented that, “although overbooking does happen, they had never known more than 3–4 people to be affected.”
