some great tips for flying with cheap airlines is make sure your bag conforms to the hand luggage demensions, when you fly wear combat/cargo trousers as you can easily roll your socks and underwear for a week and stuff them in side pockets. If you are bringing a coat with you free up space in your bag by wearing or carrying it. If you are bringing a large camera hang it around your neck on the neck strap for traveling, again freeing up space in your carry on. Do not put anything in the hold, that is often more expensive per item than the airfare itself - if you are going for a longer period and need more stuff consider posting it care off your hotel (most hotels will be happy with this, phone to check first) - this is what I usually do with larger items like sports equipment.

I dunno. I've flown Ryanair many times and have not noticed bad service or anything. Granted, I've also been lucky and none of my flights have had any issues and I was always going just with my backpack which was well inside any regulations for carry-on luggage they have. I just treat it like a bus (which it kinda is. I won't starve on a 2 hour flight, so I don't need food, and to buy water does not cost arm and leg (or you can do it in the airport before boarding. I've flown into Stansted with them early, but not middle of the night early and it's a longer ride to the city center but it's less than 10 pounds. If you can sleep anywhere (like me, the airfare which may be 70-80 pounds cheaper than on regular airline covers the lost time and bigger bus ticket well enough

Try Transavia. they set a new Standard for Low Cost Carriers in Europe. I've been flying with them to and from Amsterdam at least 15 times in the past 2 Years. Always on time, brand new 737NG fleet, clean interior, good seat layout, professional & friendly crew and of course, low prices! No hidden costs. Yes, checked lugggage is gna cost extra. But if you buy a ticket on their homepage for 60, you are flying for 60 with no extra cost at the Airport if you have only handluggage. I actually like them more than some Premium Carriers like Lufthansa or Delta. for Short to Medium Haul flights ofc.

A couple of things to hate on low cost airlines: if some issue arises, the frontdesk employees only can perform check-in operations or sell tickets; they cannot do more complex tasks as reschedules or
fee payments. Other thing you will hate about such airlines: their employees on frontdesk are not as well trained and knowledgeable(for example, they might not speak english) as those of their expensive counterparts. One last thing to hate: Their customer communication platforms usually suck, like their website live chat, customer service phone line, etc.

We flew from Gatwick to Dublin on Ryanair: US$36 each, round trip. We did have to fly out of Dublin at 6: 00 am, but the airport buses are 24 hours, so we spent our final night having fun in Dublin and came into the airport in the early morning, saving on a night's accommodation costs. Then in London, the train from Gatwick to downtown London is less than 6 pounds, and is fast. So we saved a bundle! Ryanair is an experience though. Tiny Boeing 737 with the worst airplane seats I've ever seen. Thankfully it's a 50 minute flight.

Well I would rather call them optional costs - as normally I wont use things that are included anyway, like checked in luggage, food etc so why should I pay for it - if you go somewhere for a few days its actually way easier only having a backpack as you dont have to wait, worry about luggage getting lost, carry it around with you, carry up stairs, etc
Also, they actually can be as cheap if you book a few days before, I booked a flight from Vienna to Cracow 3 days before departure for 9, 99

I've been looking up airline prices for my 2019 trip to Europe and quickly claim to the conclusion that RyanAir and co are just not worth it. For example, their Barcelona to Paris flight is some old former military airport WAY out in the boonies. It seems that European airlines flying domestically are much cheaper than their domestic American counterparts so I'm just going to stick to the regular European airlines flying in/out of the major airports.

You just gave me something to think about. my coworker recommended that i fly instead from london to paris as opposed to the chunnel, and i found that its much cheaper too. by half! BUT i have to deal with taking a train from CDG to gare du nord anyway which bumps up the cost too. add to that the stress of flying and being in the airport early. decisions decisions.

Hey mark, I'm going to be flying with a newer Icelandic airline called WOWair from Dublin back to Toronto with a Reykjavik layover in between. When I check my flight details, it says 1h 25m wait. Does that mean I just sit on the plane and wait while other people get on or something? Or am I going to have to switch planes?
