Ankara is 1 hour ahead of Budapest right now. Flying east costs you hours: you land later in the day than the flight time alone suggests, and eastbound jet lag is usually the harder direction to shake.
Crossing a border: entry rules for Türkiye depend on your nationality and change without much notice, so we do not print them here. Check the IATA Travel Centre — the same passport and visa database airlines check at the gate — and confirm your passport has enough validity left, since many countries require six months beyond your return date.
