Star Alliance member Air China promotes its service to Budapest with an attractive sale to South East Asian destinations. Prices start with a €352 / HUF 114,650 roundtrip to Ho-Chi-Minh-City in Vietnam. Destinations Phnom Penh, Yangon and Singapore are available below €370 / HUF 120,000 as well. All these fares include board service as well as a piece of checked luggage up to 23kg. All connections include a layover in Beijing and a technical stop in Minsk on the inbound leg.
Air China operates an Airbus A330-200 on its flights between Beijing, Minsk and Budapest. While Yangon and Phnom Penh receive Boeing 737 service, you’ll have a pretty decent chance to board a widebody plane on flights to Singapore and HCMC as well. Since some flights include a lengthy layover in Beijing, you may want to check out China’s 24-hour-visa rules.
