Airport Arrival
A BSM representative will meet you upon arrival at the airport or train station and drive you to your apartment. After clearing customs you will leave the baggage claim area and go to the arrival hall (follow signs for ground transport). Look for a BSM representative holding “Budapest Semesters” sign. Do not leave the airport until you locate each other. You may have to wait for 10-15 minutes for the representative to arrive. If after 20 minutes you have not located the representative, send an email to [email protected] or call 00-36- 20-628-5562 (the BSM emergency number).
