Thanks everybody hopfully I be able to get alot more during the summer if I get some sort of transport apart from my ma.

While this thread is still here I might as well add that this morning Aer Lingus have announced 2 new routes ine of them being Krakow. Up until yesterday morning there was no Dublin-Krakow route and now we have 2 airlines competinf on it.
The second destination is Almeria is souther Spain bringing the number of Aer Lingus routes between Ireland and Spain to 11.

Well EI seem to be filling 179 seats 4 night a week and Malev are getting about 50-70% loads now much less then they were 7 day a week and in the summer they increase to 11 weekly. All of Dublins route to Eastern Europe seem to be doin quite well and I think DUB has seen more new routes to Eastern Europe than any other destination.

Since May 1st 2004
Warsaw- LOT now 11 weekly and EI 4/5 weekly
Prauge-Smartwings went daily but pulled out for the summer saying they will be back
Riga-Air Baltic-3/4 weekly
Vilnius-Air Baltic-2/3 weekly,Lithuanaian Airlines-2/3 weekly
Adria-Ljubljana-2/3 weekly
Tallin-Estonian Airlines started 3 weekly and increased to 4
and now Sky Europe Krakow & Bratislava

So overall demand from Dublin to Eastern Europe seems to be very high but so I dont see why Budapest would be any different.
Malev also get alot of connecting traffic onto places like Belgrade and some other Easter European airport not served directly from DUB.

Well Dublin to Budapest is already served daily by Malev and Aer Lingus also operate 4 weekly flights. Interestingly enough the Malev loads have nose dived since Aer Lingus started the route in October.
