USEFUL TIPS FOR YOUR FLIGHT TO BUDAPEST:
1. How to spend time efficiently while flying
You will be asked to switch off the network on your mobile phone onboard but you can still use it or a laptop offline. You can work or enjoy an offline downloaded book or movie while flying
No.1 TIP: Make sure your devices are fully charged!
Movies: watch an offline movie on your tablet
Music: listen to music (you will need headphones and a fully charged battery)
Read: it is a great opportunity to start a book that you usually do not have time for
Cards: you can play cards that do not need a lot of space
Sleep: bring a neck supporting pillow, close your eyes and relax
2. Tips for being comfortable during your flight to Budapest
– Always have water and some snacks in your bag. (you can buy water at the airport shop, solid snacks like chocolate or sandwiches are allowed to take onboard)
– Take a neck supporting pillow with you
– Have a small pack of moist tissues for cleaning your hands or for using the bathroom
– Have a small bottle of hand sanitizer (only a small one!)
– Have a pack of chewing gum in case you suffer from ear pressure. Just chew on it while taking off and your ears will not hurt
– Wear comfortable clothes. Wear layers of clothes. You may be sitting in the same spot with little legroom for hours, you don’t want to feel discomfort because of your too tight clothes
– Bring a scarf with you, the air-conditioning is always on and you can easily end up with a sore throat
3. What to do first after landing
-When flying to the capital of Hungary, always keep in mind, that the local time might be different from your country’s local time (pay particular attention to the Summer and Wintertime). Always check the local time after landing. Your mobile will adjust automatically if the GPS is on.
– Have some Hungarian currency, forint in your wallet when you are approaching Budapest. Not all shops take credit cards
No.1 TIP: Don’t use the first bathroom that you see first, even if you are desperate, there will be several more on your way out and you won’t have to queue
– Always use an official licenced taxi (they are yellow) and if possible wait for the taxi booth at the entrance to call a taxi for you!
