Our sports club wants to travel to lake Balatan in Hungary for 7 days in early summer, about 60 people from Oslo.

There is a direct route Oslo to Budapest with “Norwegian Air Shuttle” airline, which is usually 65 euro per ticket. But airline tell us that any booking for more than 15 people is more expensive (opposite to what I thought), and for the dates we want it’s 300 euro per ticket !! That’s almost 5 times the usual price.

So… what are our options getting from Oslo to Budapest in summer (last week in June) for a reasonable cost (less than 200 euro per person return).

Via bus or train it would take a day and a half, and it’s really too far for young kids (many kids in our club are in the age group 4-6, and roughly half of those in our group would be 4-12 years old).

I am wondering if for example we can drive over the border into Sweden and fly from an airport there. Or find a hungarian airline, or take another airline with a stop… I tried flightscanner and some other local web sites but didnt find anything.

Does anyone have any tips?
