Every figure on this site comes from a named source. For each topic we ask whoever knows it first-hand: the authority, the operator, or the specialist that collects it. Every card names its source and shows when we last checked it.
Public transport
BKK
Timetable and live departure times of the airport buses
BKK is Budapest's official public transport organiser: it sets the airport buses' timetable and follows the vehicles live. We read its open data feed directly, so a delay shows here as soon as BKK knows about it.

Parking
ParkoLow
Prices and free spaces of the car parks around the airport
No authority collects what parking near the airport costs or where there is still space. ParkoLow specialises in exactly this: it follows every car park it knows around the airport, bookable or not, checking prices every day and its partners' free spaces every hour.

Flights
AeroDataBox
Departures and arrivals with their live status
AeroDataBox is an aviation data service that supplies airport flight boards: scheduled and estimated times, status, terminal and gate. It gives us the airport's whole day in one licensed feed, and it has confirmed that we may show it here.

Baggage
Wizz Air, Ryanair, Lufthansa
Baggage allowances and size limits
Baggage rules are set by each airline, so a member of our team copies them by hand from the airline's own pages and links to them. Each airline's card shows when we last checked its figures against those pages.

The taxi tariff from the airport
The fare you pay is a published tariff, so a member of our team copies it by hand from the page that publishes it and links to that page. Each operator's card shows when we last checked it. The estimate to the city centre is our own calculation from that tariff.

Weather
NOAA Aviation Weather Center
Weather observations and the aviation forecast for the airport
Airports report their weather in a standard aviation format, measured at the airport itself. NOAA's Aviation Weather Center collects these reports worldwide and publishes them openly, and the same goes for the forecast issued for each airport, so the weather shown here is the airport's own, not the city's.

Our own editors
BUDstart
Hotels, travel updates and the practical guides
Where no data feed exists, our editors collect the facts from the operators' own pages and re-check them regularly. Each of these items shows the date it was last confirmed.
The Hungarian and Polish city names on the flight board come from Wikidata (CC0) and were reviewed by hand.
