Hi Gundo,
Both Frankfurt and Munich seem to be around the same price, at $1230 roundtrip after tax using KLM. Air Transat has been about the only cheap way to get to Europe this year. They had flights to Munich in September for around $670 roundtrip, but I think that's the end of their schedule.
Budapest looks to be perhaps even cheaper at around $1190 on KLM, if you went Oct 16 to Nov 2. Or Oct 13-31 for $1270.
Air Transat has flights to London Gatwick for around $800, and then you could EasyJet it to Budapest for about $100 roundtrip. Other factors to consider when doing that though. I think I would want Calgary -> Europe and back to be $700 or less to make it worthwhile.
It seems like Air Transat is discounting their September flights at the moment (as you'll see for the Manchester flight I'm about to post) . About 2 weeks to a month ahead seems to be when they make cuts the most often.
