For instance the frequency of Ryanair flights to Budapest are very much reduced in the winter months. However although during the winter months flights may be reduced, the fact remains that Hungary is a popular destination all year round, so is well serviced by the low cost airlines from all around the UK and should you wish to visit even during the winter months, low cost flights are still available. Each year new UK airports are added to the schedules.

Airports in Hungary
There are currently 3 airports in use in Hungary at he moment, Budapest, Balaton and Veszprem.
Budapest Airport of course is in the capital city, is the busiest airport and receives most of the flights from the UK from various airlines.
Balaton Airport is at the south end of Lake Balaton and this makes it convenient if your ultimate destination is in that area.
Veszprem Airport is at the North end of Lake Balaton but isn't currently described as an international airport. However due to the European and international investments being made into Hungary and specifically the Lake Balaton area, a new international airport terminal building is in the process of being built on an existing runway at Veszprem. This is due to be opened during 2009 and the money being spent on it is in the region of €39 million. The existing 400 hectare airport is currently owned and operated by BudaWest Airport. Their plans include extending the runway and being made suitable to accomodate aircraft with a capacity of 130-150 passengers, building a conference center, a logistics facility, a hotel, a technology park and looking to the future a waterpark, a commercial centre, an entertainment center and a casino.
