Budget Airlines

[sobrique]

Anyone travelled via Ryanair/Easyjet recently?
I would imagine they enact all manner of shenanigans to reclaim some of their operating cost, but I have no idea quite what that would entail.
So opinions and suggestions solicited, for cost effective ways to get to other parts of the world.

I travel with EasyJet fairly often and find them pretty good. They're a budget airline so don't expect booked seats or free drinks, but they are generally friendly, helpful and efficient. Be careful to check everything when booking to avoid being sold travel insurance etc which you don't want. You will get to see the total cost before you book. Check-in online to avoid queues in the airport.

I refuse to fly Ryanair. They have a policy of being as nasty as they can be to passengers to make themselves seem cheap, have a history of running scams, being nasty to disabled passengers, etc.

I've started using kayak.co.uk recently for routes I'm not familiar with. It does a good job of collecting prices from lots of airlines and letting you display your search results in any way you like.
