Whenever I've had the choice between EasyJet and Ryanair, I've always chosen EasyJet. They're a bit more expensive but at least I don't feel as much treated as cattle.
Oh definitely. Unfortunately for where I live now, the only routes I'm interested in are Ryanair or BA. Much as I'd love to, I can't justify the 600% premium.
Thought it depends on the destinations, length of the flight, etc. I do feel a bit treated like cattle when I travel with ryanair, I must admit.
But they hold on strongly to some basic principles on their flights. For example, they are unbeatable when it comes to arriving on time. Incomparably better than any other european carrier.
And of course, they have routes that are not operated by anybody else that won't ask you like 4 times more money for the flight.
At the moment they don't operate the route I use the most. I find myself using a regular carrier. After picking the dates carefully I'm still spending roughly three times more than I used to.
sure the service is a bit fancier but still, it's a huge difference.
