      @@Crunchy166 No, the other airlines are still the bus but you're paying for a few more centimetres of legroom. No airline on short hauls offers drinks or meals for free anymore and checked baggage is an addition everywhere. Ryanair, Easyjet or Wizzair are a cheaper and reliable way to fly and most destinations they connect are an hour or two in the air, so being slightly crammed is completely acceptable given the money you're saving. Everybody with an ounce of financial responsibility should understand low cost is the way to go within Europe. Full cost airlines make sense only as a connecting flight to a long haul or if you don't have low cost anywhere nearby.
