Ryanair and EasyJet (and other budget airlines in Europe) seem too good to be true…are any of them actually tolerable? Do I dare? (Point of reference, domestically I am fine with Southwest but refuse to do Frontier or Spirit. Please compare.)

They’re like a frontier or spirit. You definitely get what you pay for.. or the inverse, in that you lack what you’re not paying for. But, it gets you from point a to point b safely?

Both will nickel and dime you like Spirit but Ryanair more so. If you are willing to travel light and just want to get to point A and B then the cost savings may be worth it

Typically cheaper than Spirit or Frontier

Intra Europe flights on major carriers can reach up to 1k these days. Ryanair can take your there for less 10% of that. You’ll need to decide yourself.

I found Easyjet to be similar to Frontier. Vueling was also cheap, slightly better experience. Other than a long line at bag drop, it was like flying a normal carrier. No experience with Ryanair - their flights tended to go to out of the way airports.
