Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop BUD to ESB flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

BUD to ESB questions
Is BUD–ESB running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. The departure side at BUD is the weaker end, route health score 74/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from BUD to ESB?
Great-circle distance is 1,366 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 126–147 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does BUD–ESB fly?
Wizz Air runs the route with about 3 flights a week (mon, wed, fri). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at BUD and arrival-side delay at ESB, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
