Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines currently sells discounted business class tickets from Budapest to New York, with prices going as low as €1,585 (~HUF 616,086) for a roundtrip. While you need to take a slight detour via Istanbul, this can actually be an upside, as it means more time being spent in a business class seat.

Turkish Airlines uses different planes for their flights from Istanbul to JFK and Newark (EWR) airport. To John F. Kennedy airport, the airline deploys Boeing 777-300ER planes with the old business class configuration – lie-flat-seats in a 2-3-2 pattern. While you can still enjoy their marvellous catering, ending up in the middle seat might not be what you wish for when paying for a business class ticket.
To Newark, you will fly an Airbus A350-900, with a more modern business class, featuring lie-flat-seats in a 1-2-1 pattern, allowing direct isle access for everyone. Even better, it is very likely that you may experience Turkish Airlines’ new business class suites with sliding doors. the Another upside of flying Turkish Airlines is that you even get a proper business class cabin on short-haul flights, with recliner seats in a 2-2 on your flight from Budapest to Istanbul.
Most Europeans need an electronic system for travel authorization (ESTA) to enter the USA for up to 90 days. This costs US$40 (~€34) and you should apply for it a couple of days before your trip, at the latest.
There are some cases where you cannot apply for an ESTA, e.g. if you’ve been to Cuba since 2021 or to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, or North Korea since March 2011. In those cases, you’ll need to get a visa from a US embassy or consulate, which can take multiple weeks.
