I'm not 100% sure of the ticketing policy. The cost is 900HUF (Hungarian Forint) for a one-way ticket. Here's a link to some route maps and timetable information. The 100E bus runs every 30 minutes between 5:00 a.m. Apparently the service became available in July 2018 and runs from the airport to Deák Ferenc square.ĭeák Ferenc square is in the centre of Pest and it was perfect for us. I was going to book a taxi, but with a bit of web-surfing, I learned about the low-floor 100E airport bus. It still has to be public transportation, though. The usual range of options are available, but after already using a water taxi in Venice and a dedicated airport train in Rome, I fancied something different. Getting from the Airport to Budapest Centre It includes a couple of useful Special Assistance videos. Here's a link to Budapest Airport's Special Needs page (that's how they title it). Based on my experiences, Jet2 is good at arranging Special Assistance. Two and a half hours later and we're doing the reverse at Budapest Airport. So for this journey, the Special Assitance included: ambulift to the plane door, transfer out of my chair to the aisle chair, my chair goes into the hold, I'm pushed to my seat, I transfer into the seat, the seat belt clicks into place, everyone's all smiles, and we're off. I appreciate that I might have been super lucky, but hopefully you'll have the same experience I've had. For anyone who hasn't flown with a wheelchair before, this can all seem daunting (editor's note: see our other Live Quickie blogs addressing this topic), but from the four times now that I've used Jet2, it's been perfect. I booked the flights online but then spoke to their Special Assistance team to discuss my mobility needs at the airport, getting on and off the plane, getting to and from the airplane seat, etc. Why did I like them? It's mostly down to the super friendly, personable staff I interacted with when I booked. Getting to Budapestįor those in the UK, I'd highly recommend Jet2 City Break. My traveling companion is my fantastic wife and carer, Lisa. Freewheel is my 'cobblestone muncher' of choice. But I'm just as happy to take a push where I can. I'm a manual wheelchair user who self-propels. My Health Conditionįor those not reading this on my accessible travel blog,, here's a quick summary of my condition. It was the last of our short breaks for 2018, and may be our favourite so far.
A city of two halves, you have the hilly district of Buda on one bank of the Danube, and the flatter district of Pest on the other. Here's the part where I sound like the geography teacher that I'm not: Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
