Starting May 21, 2026, American will launch daily nonstop flights from Philadelphia International Airport to Budapest, making it the only U.S. airline offering a direct connection to Hungary's capital without layovers.
Budapest is one fin-de-siècle city with two idiosyncratic personalities of once-separated regions: the placated peaks of Buda and the pulsating Pest. They're linked by eight bridges across the Danube River; art nouveau, baroque, and neoclassical architecture; an affinity for goulash; a wealth of thermal baths; and a national identity complicated by centuries of conflict and reform. Oh, and epic ruin bars as a result of it all.
But it's also become famous for its "ruin bars"— quirky nightlife venues set up in abandoned buildings and courtyards, decorated with eclectic art and vintage furniture. After World War II, a bulk of Budapest—and particularly the Jewish District—was in disrepair. What remained was urban decay: abandoned warehouses, derelict apartment buildings, and unoccupied wastelands. So, in the late '90s, developers started transforming these spaces into dilapidated drinking establishments serving up relatively cheap beers for locals and tourists alike.

"It's a privilege to connect Philadelphia to the world with unparalleled access to more than 120 global destinations, and we're excited to strengthen our network with service to Budapest and Prague," American Airlines Vice President of PHL Operations Lakshman Amaranyaka said in a press release. "These two cities are rich with culture and history, allowing customers to enjoy the world-renowned thermal baths and spas in Hungary, as well as the iconic medieval architecture of the Czech Republic."
American Airlines' latest additions reflect growing demand for travel to Central and Southern Europe, and the airline is positioning itself to meet the trend.
