SkyTeam member Vietnam Airlines offers a real stunner fare with departure from Budapest. You can reach Australian major cities Sydney and Melbourne for as little as €2,364 (~HUF 931,197) if you are willing to change planes twice in Frankfurt and Ho Chi Minh City. While Vietnam Airlines’ business class product is surely an upside of this deal, you have to accept layovers of at least 13 hours (outbound) and six hours (inbound) to get the lowest price.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Expedia with your preselected flight dates.
Vietnam Airlines operates Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 aircraft on these flights. Both business class products received fairly good reviews, even if it isn’t as outstanding as other South East Asian business class cabins:

Flights from Budapest to Frankfurt and back are Lufthansa European business class services.
