Ryanair Schedule - BUD to KRK
I've been trying to book a Ryanair flight from Budapest to Krakow for April
2nd but when I check Ryanair's website there are no flights listed for this route after the 2nd week of January. I've called and the agent told me flights would be up by the end of November but I'm getting concerned because this is the only direct service and it's cumbersome to get from one city to the other, even by train.
I've searched the net but haven't seen anything regarding a route cancellation. Is this close to last minute posting of flights normal for Ryanair? Has anyone heard anything re a possible route cancellation?

Thanks for the quick response. Our other option is to fly to Warsaw (WAW) but the Ryanair schedule isn't up yet for April. Should I be concerned about that being cancelled as well?
Does anyone else have a decent option for me to get either from Budapest (April 2nd) or from northeastern Hungary (April 1st) to Krakow? We are very time limited. The only thing I've found so far at a decent price is an Air Berlin flight from Bud to KRK (connnecting thru Berlin) but this is a 6 am flight which we'd rather not do. I've checked out all the other regular airlines and all are far more expensive and/or have looooooooong layovers.

Thanks but unfortunately we're tied to either April 2 (anytime) or very early am on April 3rd. We're touring northeastern Hungary on the 1st and need to be in central Poland by midmorning on the 3rd.

The sleeper train may be your only realistic option, but it does take 10 hours from Budapest, and arrives in Krakow at the crack of dawn (06:35).
It is, however, quite cheap - from €49 each for two people sharing a two-berth sleeping compartment.

1. On April 1st well be visiting northeastern Hungary. If I could get my tour guide to drop us off in Kosice would it be any easier to get to Krakow from there?
2. If we do take the sleeper from Budapest how do washroom/shower facilities work? We'd end up in Krakow at 6:35 am and then hit the road with another tour guide to central Poland an hour later so I'd like to be able to freshen up before we leave the train.

Thanks to both of you. We are now considering the train but have a few questions and I'm hoping you can shed some light as we've never done this before.

TBH, it's something to be endured rather than enjoyed, but it will get you to KRK on the day you want. See it as a challenge.

Orangeways operates a cheap bus service between Budapest and Krakow which takes (apparently) 6h30.
However, the schedule currently shows departures on Monday and Wednesday mornings, but not Tuesday (April 2nd). Also, booking is not open for April yet.
The departure is at 7am, but on the Hungarian version of the website, it says from December 1st, departure is at 6am.
Eurolines also operates a bus service with a similar schedule, but April departure dates have not yet been published.
