Why fly on European budget airlines?

Europe has many low-cost airlines offering cheap flights to almost all countries of the continent. European low cost airlines offer budget priced fares, flexibility on when and where to travel and serve many destinations not flown to by full fare airlines.

How and where to buy tickets

Most European discount airlines primarily sell ticket over the Internet and by phone. Some of the airlines, including Ryanair, does not sell their tickets through traditional travel agencies.

You book, pay and receive a confirmed ticket on the airline's website. You pay for your ticket using a credit card and receive an electronic ticket that you bring with you to the airport on the day of departure. To check-in for the flight you need to produce the booking reference number and a valid photo identification card. Some airlines, most notably Ryanair, require that you print the electronic ticket and bring it to the airport. This is because the ticket contains a bar code

Using Euroflights.info you can easily find routes and destinations served by European discount airlines and go on to book your cheap holiday or business flight.

Flight shopping – How to find the best priced tickets!

Tickets for flights on European discount airlines are not sold at a fixed price. Most airlines increase the price as seats are sold and as the date of departure approaches. Buying a last minute ticket on a discount airline can sometimes be just as expensive as travelling on a full fare airline.

To get the best ticket prices when travelling on low cost airlines you usually have to buy your tickets well before the date you want to travel on.

Some low cost airlines have sales and promotion periods where you can get tickets for cheap flights inside Europe at a fixed price independent of the number of free seats on the flight. You may have to travel on certain days of the week and book a minimum number of days before departure. Information on such sales periods is often only published on each airline's website and can also be found in the news section of Euroflights.info.

Cancelling or changing a ticket on a budget airline

Few, if any, low cost airlines will give you a refund if you need to cancel your reservation. Some offer an insurance that can be bought at the time of booking. Should you have to cancel due to illness you can use the insurance to get a refund, provided you are unable to travel for any of the reasons covered by the insurance.

Many European discount airlines allow you to change a reservation for a fee. In addition to paying the fee, you will have to pay any fare difference between the original ticket and the new ticket.

Travelling on European discount airlines

European budget airlines offer cheap tickets, but this comes at a price. Read more below.

• Luggage usually can't be checked through from one flight to the next. If you are connecting between two flights, you will usually have to pick up your luggage and check it in again for your next flight. This even when the flights are on the same airline.
• No free food. Few discount airlines serve free food or drink, but many sell good quality food at a reasonable price on-board.
• Little or no support when flights are delayed. If your flight is delayed or cancelled don't expect to get any compensation from the airline. A few discount airlines offer a limited form of compensation. Should you miss a connecting flight because your low cost flight is delayed, you should not expect to receive any help or compensation from the airline.
• Single leg flights. Flight times are not coordinated with other airlines and some airports are served only a few times each week. This means that it can be hard to join two flights without much waiting time.
• Limited baggage allowance. On most low-cost airlines, no checked-in luggage is included in the basic fare. You'll have to pay extra for each luggage item you need to check-in. There are strictly enforced weight limits and expect to pay a high fee for each kilo your luggage weighs above the allowance.

Changes in the European airline industry

The European airline industry is adjusting to the reality of low fares airlines capturing a large and increasing share of European travellers.

Many traditional full fare airlines are adding new fare classes offering a limited number of tickets at prices approaching those offered by the true low cost airlines. The airlines do this without removing the old business and tourist class fares.

The new low priced fares come with more limits and fewer services compared with the more expensive tickets:

• cancellation of tickets may not be possible
• name change on a ticket may not be possible or only for a fee
• changing date or time of your flights may not be possible
• in-flight meals may not be included in the ticket price

The new budget airlines have caused increased competition in the European airline industry. Several of the traditional flag carriers have already had to cease operation, including Belgian Sabena and Swissair. The increased competition from low-cost airlines is also driving airline mergers like the one between Air France and Dutch KLM airlines.
