How to get to Déli Railway Station and to Révfülöp - and back - if you arrive to Ferihegy Airport
There are to ways from Ferihegy Airport to Déli pu. (pályaudvar) railway station (apart from the taxi):
1. The simplest way is the minibus, which costs HUF 2100 (single ticket) and 3600 (return ticket). HUF 2100 corresponds to about GBP 6, so it is not terribly expensive. If I were you I would take a single ticket and use public transport on the way back. You will find the minibus stand in the arrival lounge of the airport building. You name your destination, DÉLI pu, to a clerk, pay for the ticket and wait for Déli to appear on one of the TV screens around the stand. A driver will be calling the passengers to Déli and you just follow him. At the station you should remember that the destination of the best trains is Celldömölk, via Tapolca (see below).
2. By public transport. You should buy 3 tickets per person for one journey, somewhere in the airport. You can inquire in English anywhere there. The three tickets will not cost more than HUF 400. As you come out of the airport building, you will find a bus stop a few meters to the right. Take this blue, REPTÉR BUSZ, punch a ticket (120 HUF), and go as far as the other terminus called Kőbánya-Kispest.

When you have got off, you will see an orange colour building opposite. Follow the crowd up the steps, then straight ahead, then left down the steps when you see the M metro sign. Take care of your belongings! Punch a ticket before walking down to the platform. This the BLUE LINE. Get out at DEÁK TÉR, go down the escalator on either side of the platform and before you reach another escalator, punch the third ticket. (Or you can buy a combinated-ticket at Kőbánya-Kispest ticket office, called metróátszállójegy and it is valid all the way from Kőbánya-Kispest to Déli pu.) You will find the directions signposted. Behind the trains on the wall you will also find the stations you can reach from the given platform. At Déli pu walk up the steps anywhere and you will easily find the booking offices behind the glass walls of the hall. The fare is the same for fast trains and stopping trains so you just say: a return to Révfülöp (Hungarian: egy retúrt kérek Révfülöpre). If you take this fast train, the station before Révfülöp where the train stops is called Balatonfüred. The train then runs though a number of small villages, the last two being called Zánka and Szepezd (see below).
