Transportation
There is a direct rail link from Liszt Ferenc Airport 1 to Szeged Railway Station. Passengers arriving at Terminal 2 may take the "blue bus" service to get to Terminal 1. Arriving travellers can buy their tickets at the Tourinform office at Terminal 1 from 09.00 to 22.00 or at platform B at the railway station from the ticket vending machine. If you are unable to obtain a ticket before getting on the train you might also try to buy one from the conductor onboard, however most probably he will also charge you extra penalty for not buying the ticket in advance.
The two platforms of the railway station are connected to the Airport Terminal with a pedestrian footbridge equipped with lifts above the clearway. A short pedestrian path of just 200 meters takes the passengers from the terminal to the railway station.
Ticket prices may range from 3100-4900 HUF (10-16 EUR). To see the train
