Have you even been to this place. No one can dare to shoot 7 year old boy and her mom. First look at your own place before even commenting any negative.

Well I thought I was pretty clear but I'll break it down.

Whizz air saves £180 (not £200).

You have to add in cost of accommodation in Budapest and travel there.

As someone mentions you also have costs for luggage with Wizz Air (given that Budapest averages 2-7 in November while Dubai is high 20's you will probably want different clothes -and therefore need luggage - for Dubai) and I would imagine probably have to pay for food (for about 7-8 hours travel you will want to eat I would imagine). Amount that this eats into it will vary depending on your circumstances, but it could easily be £50 or more. So there's actually £130 difference.

Then there are the non- monetarily quantifiable things to factor in. Part of this will depend on how you view the stay in Budapest, if you are happy to get out and see Budapest then it is a positive (though you don't say how you long you will have there, so you might not actually get to see or do much), but if you are just looking to go to Dubai then it is a negative.

Whilst I'm sure Budapest is a lovely city, personally I would see spending a day in a city that will be lower than 7 degrees before going to one in the upper 20's and having to either travel in or bring a mix of winter and summer clothing as a negative.

Emirates is also much more comfortable than Wizz Air and I think on a 3,000 mile journey you are entitled to take in the pros and cons of a shorthaul airline against a longhaul airline. Plus you don't have the hassle of changing plane with Emirates.

These factors cannot be quantified in monetary terms and their importance will vary from person to person. I did say that personally it's not for me so I haven't voted, I didn't say it was a bad deal (I actually acknowledge the obvious fact that it is cheap) and if the factors I listed above aren't important to you then go for it.

But I don't think an extra £130 to take away those issues is burning money.

Personally, I'd rather spend a week in Budapest than a week in Dubai :-)

This is a one-way fare but even so it's not bad. Good find.

Also sweet if you're heading over for an interview or to live etc.

thats so cheap!

when I tried from Luton to Dubai it says this city is not available!

just re-read your post OP...I blame it on Friday!

Clown. Safest place I've ever stayed in.
Also the most welcoming - they know the Oil won't last forever so longer term will need tourism.

Not voting either way, it's obviously cheap but you would also have to factor in a stay in Budapest and the return fare into the cost. Then consider whether the saving is worth the hassle of 2 flights each way plus an overnight stay one way to somewhere as close as Dubai.

There's lots of direct flights from London on better airlines and you can get usually get pretty good deals - just on a quick search with emirates now you can go for £358 on that day, returning a week later. Obviously it's not as cheap as the deal, but taking into account the above factors I personally don't think the deal is cheap enough to justify the hassle compared with the emirates flight.

Can anyone recommend a cheap but nice hotel?

how is everyone getting these really cheap flights? I'm looking at Aug 2016 and its blooming expensive! Coming to around £2500 for 4 of us (2 adults, 1x15yr old and 1x11 yr old) and thats with a stop.
