Terminal 2B is a airport terminal Budapest located in Hungary.
Budapest BUD Nemzetközi Repülőtér 1185 Hungary
Wi-Fi | Free |
More seating in arrivals hall than in departures. Go downstairs to get a seat.
Nice building, poor food choices. Security is normally okay. KFC and Burger King are the only ones operating on normal prices. Smoking area (next to lounge ) is fun to hang out on a summer night.
If you're not flying low cost then the terminal is amazing. For those of you flying Ryanair...I'm sorry.
A much improved terminal, with lots of choice for food and shopping. While food is a bit expensive , there's free water, wifi , lots of plugs, workstations and even a couple of meeting booths .
This is what it looks like all day, every day in the summer - chaos!
If you are traveling with kids go to the food court , there's a pretty good playground where you can pass the time until boarding.
Come early. This is stuffed with HUGE AMOUNT of people.
Horrible airport . Morning security checks very long: wifi (both free from telenor as well as paid from telekom) working unreliable. Nice stuff: buy the puszta salami . Very delicious
Arrive early plenty to see and lots of places to eat
Free WiFi : look for Telenor network, then open browser and click on Free WiFi button before using phone apps or PC.
Its scary how crowded it is! Nowhere to sit
Great terminal with everything you need
Don't bother with the taxis , you can take a five minute bus ride to the Ferihegy train station . There are trains every 20 minutes that run to Budapest's Nyguti station near the west end mall .
Get some snack/food/drink with you from the city . Prices hilarious.
Actually I don't think that it matters which part of the termonal you use (2A or 2B) because the gates are between them.
British Airways. You can only drop baggage off 2 hours before the flight and there is nothing before security so don't arrive early!
Still better than Berlin airports
WiFi speed https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/3437467890
Free WiFi on first floor from KFC. Remember to print e-ticket from home, enables you to jump queue.
There's an ATM in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2B. Get your forints here rather than messing with the exchange desk.
Old facilities, helpful personnel
Avoid the long queue by going to 2A for security check after baggage drop-off (long corridor next to the head of the queue)
Most beautiful flight attendants and pilots from Qatar airways
Use 100e bus to get in to the city . ~2,5£
Check-in a security control is painfully slow, crowded and badly organized . Use the self check-in machines to ease at least some pain.
No need to run for your checked luggage, it will take an age to arrive even if you are on the only aircraft arriving at the time.
Can be extremely crowded .
Looks like someone didn't really think through the security screening process when designing this terminal. Be prepared to stand in a long, long singular line .
you can use your e-ticket's pdf print out on your phone! don't need the paper at all :)
Still chaos in the morning. Checkin 10 minutes, baggage dropoff additional 15 minutes, security check 30-40 more minutes. So, take your time and be there early enough.
Skip the check-in line of you don’t need to drop-off luggage
Luggage drop off 20 min, security 20 min. Shuttle bus with many stairs in town . Overpriced, slow, inefficient. Welcome in the 20th century!
Lots of shops
If you want buy tickets to public transport , you should reserve small bills (2 000 HUF or smaller).
Nothing amazing, better than terminal 1
Arrive in time.
Use online check-in if you can, and get through in <10 minutes.
Thank you for free wifi ;)
Terminal to leave for the countries other than EU
Sitting problem
Extreme long check-in and security queues (Terminal 2A) at morning departures (flights between 7 and 8 am).
BA baggage drop only opens 2 hours before flight. Don't arrive too early.
Probably the worlds slowest security check. Make sure to be in time and be patient
You can use your last florint at the duty free shop. No stamps after customs.
Be ready to spend time for check in and security
Free WiFi (Telenor ) near gate A10.
Get out of here
Busy terminal.
In the priority lane for security where the queue is longer than the normal lane!
budapest airport has a massive logistic problem. take time for checkin and security.
