Guam: €1,019 Star Alliance Premium Economy from Budapest

guam strand

Star Alliance members Austrian, Swiss and United Airlines team up to bring you cheap premium economy tickets from Budapest, Hungary to Guam, pricing out at HUF 386,500 (~€979). While you will enjoy benefits like two checked bags up to 23 kg on the entire journey, only the longest segment of the itinerary between Europe and Japan sees you sitting in a chair with extra recline and legroom.

All other flights are economy trips. You will have to change planes twice to get to Guam – once in Europe and once in Tokyo. Most inbound flights require a lengthy layover (up to 16 hours) at these airports to get the lowest price.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Lufthansa with your selected flight dates, where the cheapest tickets are available.

Flights to Guam with some extra legroom on the longest segment for just HUF 386,500 (~€979).

You will first fly to either Munich, Vienna or Zurich in a regular European economy class. Your flight to Tokyo takes place in a Airbus A350-900 (Lufthansa), Boeing 777-200ER (Austrian) or 777-300ER (Swiss), the premium economy segment of your itinerary. From Tokyo, a United Boeing 737-800 takes you in 3.5 hours to Guam – again in economy class.

Destination

Guam is a United States overseas territory, so you need an ESTA or visa to visit the island.

Hotel prices in Guam usually start at roughly €80, depending on the hotel category. Whichever category and hotel you opt for, make sure to get the best price! Our recommendation is to search on booking.com, or even on our own Travel-Dealz hotel search:

Information & Tips for USA

The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.

Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements

The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA)  for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.

The Best Time to Visit

Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.

Currency

The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.

    It seems the deal has expired?

    Many thanks, Felix!
    A quite attractive rate.
    However, traveling for so many hours in Premium Economy / Economy could be somehow exhausting 🙁

    If Guam is not a destination which really appeals to you be reminded that it provides a good opportunity to board the United Pacific Island Hopper across half of the Pacific to Hawaii. Aviation freaks will be delihted by two flight numbers UA154/155 and UA133/132 which take you from Guam to Honolulu and back with either three or five stops in MAJ-KWA-KSA-PNI-TKK. There are of course also non-stop flights between GUM and HNL. If you are lucky you can use your miles at Staralliance.
