Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Tullamarine Airport (MEL) to Ferenc Liszt Intl. Airport (BUD) last minute?
Booking your journey from Tullamarine Airport to Ferenc Liszt Intl. Airport (BUD) at the last minute could save you dollars if you hit the jackpot and find a real bargain.

If you’d rather err on the side of caution, book well in advance of your departure date. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
