_Insider_: For snacks before a flight, head to the Spar supermarket in Terminal 2B arrivals. It’s open 05:00–22:00 for budget-friendly groceries. - _Time_: Save money and time with the 100E express bus to Deák Ferenc tér from BUD, bypassing taxi queues. - _Quiet_: The Plaza Premium Lounge in T2B is often less busy and offers a calm pre-flight experience. - _Local_: Make sure to grab a box of Szamos bonbons for a sweet, Hungarian gift before taking off. - _Money_: Grab public bus tickets in the arrivals area as buying beforehand saves versus paying on the bus. - _Avoid_: Skip Terminal 2B’s landside for meet-ups; instead, use SkyCourt’s café options. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
