Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar is using his first official trip abroad to break with the jet-setting lifestyle of Viktor Orban’s administration, which had fueled voter resentment in elections that ended the nationalist leader’s 16-year rule.

Magyar posted a photo of himself and his foreign minister on a commercial flight that took them and a large government delegation from Budapest to Krakow via Vienna on Tuesday for the first leg of a three-day trip to Poland. From Krakow, Magyar said they’d ride a train to Warsaw and then later in the week would also return to Hungary by rail from Vienna.
