That's what we are doing, no?
At least these turn-around BUD flights for me are exactly that - first out of the plane, grab the weekly papers, grab the Hungarian sausage/wine/etc from the tax free, grab the patisserie from the Szamos shop and head back to the plane. (Rarely enough time to go landside to the local Spar shop for delicacies with turnaround - AY has a tendency to leave early if they arrive early)
Sometimes I take the evening flight back, that's 8 hrs from plane door to plane door, so enough time to go downtown, eat a proper lunch, running errands, do the shopping and head back. All for the glorious amount of 3€, the cost of a 24h ticket.
