I am trying to book a flight from Venice (Marco Polo) to Budapest for next June. I cannot go beyond March. Is this because they only open bookings 6 months out?? Any input would be appreciated.

Correct, they only publish times and accept booking 6 months in advance.
Most airlines will not yet even have decided what routes to fly next summer, let alone open bookings.
Even railways, who use fixed infrastructure and thus change routes less often, have only published times up to the annual timetable change in December. Times after that will only be available from October or November.

Steve- should I be looking in October and November to see if they are posting flights for next June or wait until Feb/March?

Shelley,
I'd suggest waiting a few months and then checking the flight availability. You may have to wait until about December before any information shows up for next June.

Thanks Ken good to hear from you again. I guess I better not be too anxious and wait.

Shelley,
One other point to mention. If you'll be travelling with a smartphone, easyJet has an App. I've found that quite useful on several occasions.
