What’s your personal limit for a budget airline flight? I can handle a budget airline for a 2-hour hop, but after a 6-hour no-recline seat on a packed Ryanair flight, I questioned all my life choices. What’s the longest flight you’d take on a budget airline before saying, nope, never again?

5 hour max and it would have to be a significant price difference compared to other airlines ($200+).

4 hrs max.. but also im short so its not too bad if it means I save $$$$

Three hours max. After that, if the seat doesn’t recline and I’m charged $10 for water, I’m reevaluating my life. Budget airlines are fine for short hops—but beyond that, I’d rather pay extra than land with a crick in my neck and deep existential regret.

Hi, I am an expat living in France and working as an IT consultant. I got an experience here that recruiters insist on disclosing my current salary. Is it a norm in France? Do you reply how much you earn? To me it seems absolutely inappropriate and irrelevant. I can respond what are my future salary expectations. I refuse to tell how much I make now, and then recruiters say that they can't proceed with my application without this information. WDYT?
