About us

fridayjet is an independently built site with a single purpose: to make it easier to plan weekend trips departing from Budapest. We're not an airline or a travel agency — we don't sell tickets ourselves, we collect and rank prices, then send you to the airline's or travel agent's own booking page to complete the purchase.

How we collect prices

The site continuously refreshes flight prices from Budapest (BUD) in the background, looking roughly 13 months ahead. We focus mainly on direct (non-stop) flights, since that's what matters most for a weekend trip, but for some destinations the best available fare is a connecting flight. Prices and availability can change hourly — every destination shows exactly when its data was last refreshed.

Why we built this

Because the best weekend deals often get lost in classic flight search tools that require you to already know your dates and destination. fridayjet works the other way around: it shows you which destinations are cheapest right now, for a specific weekend or any date range you choose — you don't need to know where you're going in advance.

Transparency

The order destinations appear in is driven purely by price and the filters you choose — no airline or travel agency can pay to rank higher, and there are no sponsored results in the list. The site may show ads (e.g. Google AdSense), clearly set apart from the actual content, and they never influence which destinations we show or in what order. You can read more about how data is handled in our privacy policy.

Editorial responsibility

The blog posts, route explainers, and destination background copy are maintained by the fridayjet editorial desk. That layer exists so fridayjet does more than list raw data: it explains what travellers should compare before they book.
