Europe’s Top Airlines
They can either make your day or ruin your trip so this month we’re going to break down the best and the worst airlines in europe, based on the pros and cons
Air Lingus
Pros: Clocking in at the top spot we have Ireland’s national flag carrier. Based in Dublin these guys always offer a great service and when something goes wrong, people actually say sorry and fix it for you. Air Lingus also connects London and Munich for less than thirty British pounds. Cons: If you’re after cheap, last minute fares, it’s normally more expensive to fly to Ireland than it is to the rest of Europe. Hmm.
Easy Jet
Pros: They weathered the recession pretty well and now they’re expanding their routes. You can also fly to pretty much anywhere on the Easy Jet map from one of London’s many airports. Cons: If you’re going to get financially stung with unexpected bolt-ons during an online booking session, then it’s going to be on the Easy Jet website. Be wary of speedy boarding fees, travel insurance and hold luggage charges.
Ryan Air
Pros: Even if you’re hopelessly disorganised and leave your travel plans to the last minute, you can still pick up £9.99 flights to most cities in Europe, with this airline. Cons: The colour scheme on the planes combined with the incessant, clichéd Irish jingle that accompanies Ryan Air’s in house Lottery advertisement, is enough to give even the most mild mannered person a violent inkling and a migraine. There’s also been talk of charging passengers for using the toilets on Ryan Air flights. Bad times.
