What airlines should I compare next? Now all you Europeans can stop saying I never review your airlines😂✈

Over the past 3 years I fly wizz 2 times a week on average. About 85 percent of my flights are on time and go well. And considering I usually pay something like 20-25 eur for a flight and I sit in a brand new a321 neo... it would really be unfair to say that they are bad, let alone worst. ...

Rayanair is a way of life dude. U buy a ticket for the other side of a Europe for 7, 99 euro dollars, u grab a back pack with a cloth change and your wallet and there you go to a weird city u never heard of for a weekend, that’s the euro way 😅

[shortsgo]

For me WIZZ air is always a life saver, it has much cheaper and reliable tickets, it's much friendlier and if you wanted to you could pay 35 euros for a 5 hour flight. Crazy right. The seats are also brand new and pretty comfortable, and the cabin crew is really friendly. Even Ryanair doesn't deserve it, honestly it's not that bad. Plus, would you rather spend 200 euros for a 2h one way flight?

Last month I had a WizzAir flight between London Gatwick - Rome FCO and everything was just amazing... the crew, the aircraft itself, no delay at all. 10/10

As long as you look into Wizzair's guidelines, it's a decent experience. I took two flights with Wizzair, both impressed me for a budget airline. One from Paris to Rome that was delayed 5 hours due to protests. The airline could've easily canceled the flight from Orly, but instead offered us a bus trip to Beauvais an hour away in order for us to still take our flight. We made it to Rome without a hiccup. My other trip from Rome to Barcelona was on time and had no issues.

Personally i never had any problems with the mentioned airlines. The problem is that people sometimes just don't read the restrictions, allowances etc. I've had bad experiences with well established airlines, for wich i paid al lot more money .

I have flown both and both are great. I've been a quarter ways around the globe for a £12 ryanair ticket (same price as a 30 mile train ticket here) UK to the canary islands with 3 of my friends, it's great. Ryanairs new 737s and the new airbus A320s of wizz air feel fairly high quality and comfortable.

You have to play the airline's game a bit, buy either early or last minute, check for the cheapest tickets, don't be annoyed at arriving at a smaller airport, have an open mind and go to some random city you have never heard of for a £20 flight and £15 a night apartment with everything you need in a small backpack.

The bad reviews are usually from older grumpy people who expect the silver service of British airways first class - but on a shoestring budget. Ryanair is my favourite airline just because I know I wouldn't have been able to afford any of the amazing trips I have been on if they hadn't been so cheap.

Ryanair boarding passes mention what stairs you should use when boarding. Maybe you should look at it next time.... I fly with ryanair 10-12 times per year and never had any issues.

[gerritstech]

I studied abroad for a semester and when I took my trips I only flew with Ryanair. I’ve heard the rumors, but honestly I was impressed. The fares are so cheap and all I ever had was a backpack when traveling so no extra fees. Much better than I ever expected!

[youcarrott]

im actually surprised that wizzair is even considered bad because i have had no bad experiences flying with wizz when i was going to hungary to see family

[manos]

Man come on, when you are paying 15€ for a flight you can’t have any expectations. You get what you pay for, simple as that. Ryanair managed to make air travel accessible to literally everyone and I respect them for that. I work in aviation by the way (not Ryanair)
Also the cabin is so dirty because they don’t pay for airport cleaning service, the cleaning is being done by the flight attendants in a very limited time.

[brajanvalo]

Please dont let Americans let rate things, people complain way too much and expect to be treated like royalty for a flight costing 20 euro

[chainseeds]

I am a ryanair flight attendant. Just to let you know, the crew did not perform their duties as they were supposed to. When it comes to the seats, you had the older version, which they are getting rid of them by time. The ones on your flight were non Boeing sky interior, there is the updated version which is way more comfortable, the Boeing sky interior. I can assure you that ryanair, in their recent training, they are focusing on customer service more often. It also depends on who you find as a crew member. I can only speak about my country, malta. You'll get amazing experience from here.

[FlightFede]

I'm from Italy and travel a lot in Europe, and I can honestly say that Ryanair and Wizzair are not that bad, bc in the overall consideration u have to take into account how cheap the tickets are!

[joshpavettgames]

"Theres no lounge" - Its a budget airline.
"Theres no padded headrest" - Its a budget airline
"They charge for excess baggage" - Yes, because they are their rules.

Stick to flying American Express. Flying budget is clearly too working class for you.

Ryanair are by some margin Europe's largest airline by passenger numbers, of course there will be complaints . Ryanair led the way to provide cheap affordable air travel for everyone To do this, they compete by being more efficient than others, this is achieved by high load factors and quick turnaround. They offer a low cost no frills flight with certain rules to drive efficiency. When you decide those rules shouldn't apply to you then you will obviously pay more. If you need luxury then you can fly first class on one of the few remaining legacy airlines for about 15 to 20 times the cost of a Ryanair flight. If you stay in a budget hotel the you can't really complain that it isn't 5 star, if you drive a cheap car you can't complain that it doesn't have a Bose audio system and that the suspension is a little harsh. Some people need a dose of reality Ryanair does exactly what it says on the tin, no more, no less.

[davekp]

Found Ryanair to be absolutely fine. Flight was uneventful, staff were pleasant and it did everything on the tin. Shared a suitcase with my wife, checked in online, volunteered to sit by an emergency exit so I had plenty of leg room.

I just flew with RA two weeks ago. I didn't worry or get anxious at the gate about the weight of my carry on because...I made sure it was under 10kg. Yeah I know, I'm a genius. Most of those that rubbish RA are those who get caught out by not following the instructions. You don't have to opt for any of the add ons. For a two-hour flight in Europe who needs to eat on the plane? Who needs a great seat? It's a bus that flies. I've flown RA lots of times, and I've never had a single problem. Yet you regularly see shock-horror stories in the UK gutter press about poor dears who fail to print their ticket (get the app and have it scanned if you are living in 2023) and get charged £50. It's not difficult. I'm over 60 years old and I can handle the tech.

For the past 20 years Ryanair has been the difference between going on a sunny holiday with my family and not going. I can’t say a bad word about them. Never Wizzed though
