From terminal to door this should take around 30 minutes or less (except peak hours). Főtaxi is the official partner of the airport, you will find their cars standing at the terminal (all companies are allowed to get there, but only Főtaxi has the right to wait there for passengers; others only if they had been ordered in advance by a passenger). </p> <dl><dt>Airport shuttle midibus</dt></dl> <p>The second option to get from the airport to the city, is to take the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.airportshuttle.hu/en/#prices"><b>airport shuttle bus</b></a>; the more of you group together the cheaper it is per head. They give you a 10% discount if you buy online, thus the maximum (if you're alone) with the online discount will be 2880 HUF or (~9,9€) one way or 4950 HUF (~17€) return.
