By default, there are hardly any flights from Budapest to the Canary Islands: only 5 per week to the 4 islands in total. And, from March, one of the routes will be discontinued. Read on to find out which island you cannot travel to anymore from Budapest from March 2023.
No more flights to Fuerteventura from March
Fuerteventura, the second biggest Canary Island has been removed from Wizz Air’s schedule. They have been selling tickets for the summer season for a long time. In spite of that, the Hungarian low-cost airline decided to discontinue the route. The flight has also disappeared from the timetable for next winter. However, this does not necessarily mean that it will not return in October, okosutas.hu reports.
Wizz Air has made their next winter’s timetable by essentially copying the summer’s and leaving the prices high. That is why, for example, Cyprus was left in it with the summer frequency of five times a week: whereas now, the airline only flies to the island nation twice a week.

Ryanair will also close flights to Lanzarote at the end of March, okosutas.hu reminds us. However, it is already on the horizon to be back on the next winter schedule: meaning, it will return as a winter-only route. The difference is that Ryanair originally planned it this way and did not start selling tickets for the summer like Wizz Air.
In summary, of the four Canary Islands currently available, only Tenerife and Gran Canaria will be served in the summer timetable, with Lanzarote returning from the end of October and Fuerteventura uncertain.
