But expect plenty of extra charges with discount airlines, including for on-board meals and snacks. A prime example is Paris Beauvais airport, used by Ryanair. While you might have thought it was close to Paris, the reality is very different. Oh, and the delightfully named Dusseldorf-Weeze, which is, in fact, 85km from downtown Dusseldorf. There are many more examples. All this use of smoke and mirrors is because some discount airlines like to use secondary airports rather than the more expensive ones that are nearer the destination you probably want to get to.
They do fly to main airports too, but do your research before you buy a ticket. This article originally appeared on Skyscanner Australia and was republished here with permission. The airline is bringing its brand new cabins into the 21st century - adding a feature that will finally fix one of the most annoying things about flying. As Australia begins to open up to the world, a new study shows many of us have no interest in dusting off our passports.
Best of shopping Premium Membership. In the know quiz. With more people being vaccinated and the peak of summer holidays, demand looked better than previous months. In this context, we selected Ryanair , easyJet , Vueling , and Wizz Air — and looked at the flight volume, their punctuality, and the number of cancellations. Here are the results! However, the growth rate between the four airlines differs vastly. However, worth mentioning that Ryanair already operates at a much higher volume.
In August, Ryanair operated more than 70, flights — more than any other airline in Europe. Due to immense growth, easyJet operated more than 30, flights for the first time since the pandemic hit the aviation industry. In August, the British low-cost airlines operated 36, flights. Wizz Air ranks fourth with a flight volume slightly below 24,, whereas Vueling operated 18, flights.
While Wizz Air achieved the weakest result with average punctuality of They are really great for on time arrivals and departures. I have flown with them 6 times in the last 3 months and worse delay was 5 minutes and twice we arrived more than 20 minutes early.
Have more flights with them in May. One note.. On Vueling you are allowed one carryon plus one of the smaller ones I just listed. I would fly both again and likely will.. I also pre pay for a checked bag.. In Munich airport years ago my hubby was using another cheapo airline think it was either Tuifly or Airberliner They do have 2 sizes of carry-on, the smaller size is guaranteed and the larger size may have to be gate checked if the flight is busy but if gate checked it is free of charge.
I was flying with EJ a few weeks ago from Berlin and one of our party had to check their bag , by the time we got through passport control in Edinburgh their bag was waiting for them in arrivals. I work for a consultancy company in the UK and we travel extensively all across Europe. Since last year EasyJet is blacklisted in our company because of their poor on-time performance on evening-return flights.
In and half of all EasyJet evening return flights were cancelled and people had to fly back on their own expenses the next morning. EasyJet does put you into a hotel, pays for breakfast and offers you a free flight back within the next couple of days, but usually not on the next. We just flew with Vueling within Spain Barcelona to Granada , and the only surprise was learning how they pronounce the name: sounds like Vwelling.
While I would not want to fly over the Atlantic in the same plane, it was fine for a short hop. I had been worried about the tough carry-on restrictions, and I was prepared to have our bags weighed, so I could shift things to our RickSteves' rollaboards which we were checking , if needed. The agent took one look at our carry-ons and said 'no problem' and didn't weigh them. I was surprised at just how large some carry-on for other passengers was. Our checked bags arrived without problem. We did purchase our tickets months and months ahead and also opted for the fare class that included the checked bag and seat assignment.
It met our expectations
