Even the cheapest, 10-15-euro-flights of Wizz Air are extremely expensive after the Easter period: you can only buy tickets for 40-50 euros. Experts believe current high prices will fall later. Meanwhile, there is a chance that the Budapest-Astana flight will return in 2025. You may check out the details below.
Will Wizz Air compete with high prices in 2025?
According to Okosutas, a Hungarian air travel news outlet, Wizz Air prices are strange in the first half of 2025. There are many cheap, 10-15-euro flights until the end of March. At the beginning of April, the prices start to increase due to Easter, when demand is higher. However, the Hungarian low-cost airline keeps ticket prices high even after the festivities. As a result, otherwise cheap flights for 10-15 euros cost more than 40 euros, a significant difference.
Okosutas believes there is no reason to believe demand will remain high even after the Easter period. However, the portal thinks the current high prices will decrease soon to 15-20 euros. Consequently, the news outlet does not recommend that anybody buy spring or summer tickets now.
In the case of Ryanair, the price increase has been gradual from February. However, prices for March and April are also expected to decline in the next few weeks, so it is worth waiting until then.
Meanwhile, some low-cost airlines offer tickets for favourable prices now. One example is the Norwegian. If you book your March or May ticket from Budapest now, you will only have to pay 35-45 euros, which is their lowest price.
Budapest-Astana flight may return next year
According to Kazakh media sources, the direct flight connecting Budapest Airport and Astana may return in 2025. The flight was announced by Kazakhstan’s deputy transport minister. He added that 10 new international routes were planned to be relaunched from Astana in 2025 including Rome, Munich and Budapest. However, he did not specify which airline would carry passengers between the Hungarian and the Kazakh capitals.
