The flight will be to Budapest, and so the usual suspects for connections from the US West Coast are LHR, FRA, CDG, ZRH and MUC. Others with only one stop from the West Coast? Austrian/VIE? From what I've been reading here, LHR is a non-starter in this instance. Who knows of Air France will be operating in September. That would mean only FRA, MUC and ZRH.

Another concern I have is the possibility of missing a connection and what would happen then, especially if it involved an overnight stay. Does the PRM service extend beyond the airport?
