Cheap flights from Budapest to New York

Shoulder periods before and after May tend to offer more flexibility in pricing. May itself stands as the cheapest month on this route according to available data.

Year-round service means you can travel during any season from October through September, though school holidays and peak summer months often bring higher demand. Midweek departures typically cost less than weekend flights when comparing fares across dates.

All carriers on this route connect passengers rather than flying direct between Budapest and New York.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta operate as low-cost options, while LOT Polish Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Iberia, Tarom, Egyptair, Arkia, Nordic Regional Airlines, and Air Serbia provide full-service connections through their hubs. Some airlines route through Central Europe or the Middle East depending on schedule availability.

Baggage allowances and fare inclusions vary significantly between budget and legacy carriers on this multi-leg journey.

New York's three airports each offer different transit options into the city center.

Newark Liberty International connects via train and bus services. John F Kennedy provides rail links to Manhattan. La Guardia sits closest to residential areas but has limited public transport compared to its counterparts.

Allow extra time for ground transportation depending on which airport your flight lands at, as distances to central locations vary considerably between the three terminals.
