American Airlines announced last year, that they will have a direct flight between Budapest and Philadelphia and they affirmed recently that it will be happening really soon: from 4 May, a Boeing 767-300ER will fly and transport passengers directly from one of the cities to the other.

Philly is the 6th biggest city in the USA and the 3rd largest on the East Coast. Passengers arriving there can reach other flights via the Caribbean, Canada or other cities of the US, or can choose staying a couple of days there and enjoying the advantages that Philadelphia offers.

The city has a smaller airport, so immigration and customs control is much more comfortable than for example at the John F. Kennedy. The airport lies only ten kilometres away from the city centre, where – after arriving and taking a walk – visitors can explore the place that played an important role in the country’s foundation. It offers lower prices than NYC, tax-free fashion items, 1000 restaurants and 400 outdoor cafés.

The direct flight between Budapest and Philly will be available from 4 May until 27 October.

It will operate daily, according to the following schedule:

BUD-PHL

Departure: BUD, 11:35 AM

Arrival: PHL, 4:00 PM

PHL-BUD

Departure: PHL, 6:25 PM

Arrival: BUD, 9:34 AM (the following day)
