What is your favourite city?
Budapest, of course! I’ve
always lived in Hungary, my
family and friends are here. If I
lived somewhere else, I would
definitely miss the countryside,
especially the vineyards in the
Badacsony region and Lake
Balaton. Budapest always
surprises me, it has very rich
history – you can find Roman
ruins and also the remnants of
the events of the last century.
Perhaps as a result of its
history, the city has a vibrant
cosmopolitan culture. On one
hand it is a crowded capital,
but if you want to relax you can
easily find places to refresh;
nearby forests, caves under the
hilly Buda side of the city, or just
a walk in the castle district.
What is your favourite
destination?
Saint Petersburg, because it has

Is there anywhere on the
network that you would
love to visit?
One of the
Hanzesteden
(
Hanseatic cities) in the Low
Countries. I like their traditional
architecture and the smell of sea.
How long have you been
with Wizz Air?
I joined in 2007, so I’ve been
working for Wizz Air for more
than five years, both in the
public and private sector, first
as trainee lawyer then as
legal counsel.
What is the best part
of your job?
There are so many that it’s
difficult to chose just one! One
of the best parts is the delivery
of aircraft. Despite my huge
amount of paperwork, it is very
enjoyable to fly from Toulouse
back to Budapest with a brand
new aircraft and with only
four or five colleagues around
you onboard. It is also very
exciting to meet and work with
so many people with different
backgrounds and interests.
Aviation is a love of mine, yet
it’s also easy to get addicted to
legal counsel!
