Emergency help for people stuck in Budapest

Posted on by Budapest Guide

Are you stuck in Budapest? Would you like to get home as soon as possible? We are used to helping out with airport transfers, but in this occasion we can also help transporting you home to your wished for destination in Europe, for example cities such as Prague, Paris, Munich, Vienna, Amsterdam and so on. We offer small and middle size taxies with space for up to 7 people (8 people if there is little luggage). We try to keep the prices down, so if you would be in need of such a transfer back home from Budapest, then please contact us, and we will send you an exact price offer for your destination.

For bigger groups you can contact us as well, but we first of all try to help smaller groups!

Flight cancellations

Posted on by Budapest Guide

In Norway domestic flights are back up running, but the weather forecasts makes it possible that from this evening on all flights will be cancelled again. In Hungary and in Budapest cancelled is the word to get used to. The homepage of Budapest Airpot (which is almost impossible to reach due to heavy traffic) now tells that all flights until 12.00 today are cancelled, and after that there are several cancellations as well. Flights heading south from Budapest are still not cancelled this afternoon, and some other flights are not cancelled yet, but stay updated and check out www.bud.hu for the most recent updates.

If you need to travel away from Budapest we recommend the use of Orangeways which is fairly cheap and offers excellent service to travellers. Outside their normal international routes they arranged a bus travelling from Budapest to Vienna, Munich, Augsburg, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Strasbourg, Saarbrucken, Metz, Reims and Paris. I am not sure if they will repeat that trip, but check out their homepages for more information.

We wrote Saturday an article called “Stuck in Holland“, and yes, now we are stuck in Holland. Our flight home today is cancelled, but we have already bought bustickets, so tomorrow we will leave back to Budapest by bus!
