New flight opened: London comes closer to Hungary

Ryanair is to reopen one of its most popular flights to London-Sansted, bringing the capital of the United Kingdom closer to Hungary.

New flight twice a week

According to airportal.hu, the flight will commute between London and Eszék (Osijek) in Northeast Croatia. The city has almost 100,000 residents with its suburbs and is just 50 kilometres away from the Hungarian-Croatian border. Thus, the connection will prove useful for Hungarians living in Baranya county and foreigners visiting that astonishing region of Hungary.

The Irish low-cost airline will operate the flight twice a week from 2 June. However, it will remain seasonal, and it will be included only in the summer timetable. It will depart the Croatian city on Monday evenings and Friday afternoons.

The airport of Eszék is just 1-1.5 hours from Pécs and its neighbourhood. Provided you want to come home from London to Pécs, it will be quicker to use the Eszék flight instead of landing in Budapest. That is because the driving time between Pécs and Budapest is still above 2 hours despite the direct motorway connection.
