Thought this a fab price for a Pre-Christmas treat, never been to Budapest but it looks stunning! Prices from just £59pp based on 2 people sharing flying from Stansted for the dates Nov 19-20, 29 (2017), you'll be staying in a double en-suite room with complimentary wi-fi at the 4* Royal Park Boutique Hotel
You can choose other dates / airports for more money ie 2 Nights flying from Gatwick/Luton/Stansted Flights on Nov 13-15, 28, 30 (2017) for £89pp or even have 3 nights from £99pp.
See the market in Vorosmarty Square and the Christmas Fair in St Stephen's Square
Hop on the 'Christmas Light Tram', a traditional streetcar ride with a delightful festive twist!
Stroll through more than100 traditional wooden pavilions in the market and browse souvenirs
Tuck into sweet Hungarian pastries, chimney cakes and delicious mulled wine
Love Budapest, It has a perfect balance of not been too touristy, but still having enought to do and see. (Plus its really cheap once there, for example I think the zoo was only £6)

Also just checked. My hotel would have been 137 quid alone if not for this deal, plus flights on top. Bargain :grin:

"For this price point the flights are evening flights and early morning returns as it is a budget package. But i can work out something for you so you don't lose out on the first and last days" - Wayne Anderson (0207 071 3679) @ 16:18:0

Normally I'm the first person to be picking these GoGroupie deals apart but this one actually looks legit and I'm a little surprised they are saying this about the flights. For 2 nights from 19 - 21 Nov the cheapest flights out of Stanstead to Budapest (£38 each way) leave around Midday and come back in the evening. It's true that these deals almost always have evening flights and early morning returns but it seems odd they would say that on this occasion.
If you're interested I would definitely call and query this with them. I'd also double-check what plans they have in place if the flights get cancelled if they're with Ryanair - and they probably are.

Fair point, I normally skip those deals, but thought a couple of days away will do me good, so I contacted them.
The flights you mentioned is what he offered me when I said I want early flight on the way out and evening on the way back, so it worked out £85pp and also includes breakfast. Not booked yet though, keeping the guy on hold (on chat).

I'm not sure what 'price point' means. Does anyone know?

Marketing jargon. Just means the price range the seller has chosen to see their product at, to compete with rival products in the marketplace. Definition: "Suggested retail price of a product, determined in such a way as to compete with prices of other products. A product may be introduced with a specific price point, but that price may be altered depending on current demand and competition"

Makes sense but in that case I'm curious what the £59pp applies to then if they are the cheapest flights?

Well he said the £59pp is for late flight on the way out and early on the way back. But if there are no such flights on those dates, then I have no idea :grin:
He might've tried to mug me off, you never know :grin:

It's £59 per person, based on two sharing, so £118 total.

Absolute scam, Just booked, Date time advertised not available, £10 per person booking charge, They redeem voucher before advising you of dates available. His words were there are plenty of dates available can I have voucher details for redemption. Then at the end tells you theirs a £10 booking fee per person. Very misleading, Told him to refund but had already booked the flights so be careful.
