Budapest’s 100E Airport Express: More Frequent Service for a Record-Breaking Tourist Season
Budapest is welcoming more visitors than ever, and the city is making sure your arrival is smoother and faster. Starting May 1, the 100E Airport Express bus, which connects Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport with the city center at Deák Ferenc Square, will run even more frequently to accommodate the growing number of travelers. This upgrade comes as tourism in Budapest continues to break records, with nearly six million foreign tourists visiting the city last year and airport passenger numbers reaching new heights.
Enhanced Frequency for Effortless Airport Transfers
The 100E Airport Express has long been the go-to option for a quick, convenient, and affordable journey between the airport and downtown Budapest. From May 1, the service will see a significant boost in frequency, especially during peak travel times. During the busiest periods on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays, buses will depart every six minutes, while on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, departures will be every six to seven minutes. Saturdays will also see more frequent service, with buses running every six to seven minutes in the morning and every seven to eight minutes in the afternoon. This means less waiting and a more relaxed start or end to your Budapest adventure.
The 100E bus operates around the clock, seven days a week, making it a reliable choice no matter when your flight arrives or departs. The schedule is tailored to match passenger flows, with more buses heading to the airport in the early hours and more returning to the city center late at night. For the latest timetable and updates, travelers can always check the Budapest Transport Center’s (BKK) website.

Easy, Modern Ticketing for Travelers
Travelers can purchase tickets for the 100E Airport Express through several convenient channels. Options include the BudapestGO app, BKK ticket machines, customer service points at the airport, and traditional ticket offices. For those who prefer a completely paperless experience, the Pay&GO service allows you to pay and validate your ticket in one step using your bank card, with no need for a printed ticket. This digital solution is becoming increasingly popular, with many passengers choosing it for its speed and simplicity.
Why the 100E Remains the Top Choice
Until Budapest introduces a direct rail link to the airport, the 100E remains the fastest and most comfortable public transport solution for reaching the city center. The bus is designed to handle large volumes of passengers efficiently, particularly during busy periods such as the upcoming four-day holiday weekend, when many visitors are expected in the city.
Budapest’s commitment to improving airport transport reflects its growing popularity as a tourist destination. With enhanced service on the 100E Airport Express, visitors can look forward to a seamless journey from the terminal to the heart of the city, ensuring their Budapest experience starts and ends on a high note.
