2 Travelling to Szeged By Plane The Szeged train line passes next to the Liszt Ferenc Airport (Budapest), so if you arrive by plane, you can catch the Szeged train at the "Ferihegy állomás" (Ferihegy Railway Station). At the airport there are two terminals where you might arrive, 1 and 2A-2B. Starting from Terminal 2A-2B, city bus number 200E runs between the two terminals, passing the Ferihegy Railway Station on the way. The bus costs 400 forints, and a ticket can be purchased from the driver. (The Budapest city bus website is: When you get to the Ferihegy Railway Station, go to the second set of tracks (i.e. the one farther away from the road) and you can catch the Szeged train there. You can buy the train ticket at the "Tourinform" office at Liszt Ferenc Airport Terminal 1. from 9.00 AM to 10 PM or at platform B at the Ferihegy Railway Station from the ticket vending machine. The two platforms of the Ferihegy Railway Station are connected to the Liszt Ferenc Airport Terminal 1 with a pedestrian footbridge equipped with lifts above the clearway. A short pedestrian path of just 200 meters takes the passengers from the terminal to the railway station. When buying a train ticket (vonatjegy) you can either get a seat reservation (helyjegy) costs 480 forints in one of the special "InterCity" cars which are on each train, or simply seat where you like in other 2nd class cars. (Usually the Intercity cars are much cleaner and a bit more comfortable than the normal ones.) If you'll be travelling back to Budapest by train, you can get a return ticket (menettérti jegy). By Train International trains arrive to Keleti Pályaudvar (East Station), Nyugati Pályaudvar (West Station) or Déli Pályaudvar (South Station) at Budapest.
