5. Cancel your travel plans to Montenegro. Malev Hungarian Airlines is discontinuing its service to Montenegro because the airport will not guarantee de-icing of the aircrafts. This flight has been canceled indefinitely.

Tips & Warnings

• All country telephone calling codes appear in parentheses and begin with a + sign.

• Malev Hungarian Airlines' Web site provides an easy way to make all your travel arrangements. You will also find a number of discounts posted on the Web site.

• Malev has leased a flight-simulating aircraft to train its staff to be more efficient. Training staff locally rather than abroad allows more employees to be at the airline's disposal, which in turn allows more planes to fly in and out of Budapest.

• If you are traveling with a child and you need water or milk to accompany you on the plane, Malev security will require you to taste the contents you are carrying before you can clear security.
