You might want to read the review on these Ultra-LCC before so praising them so much...Ryan Air's reviews are esp. blisstering. But Matt's EasyJet is here too:

Doc -- The article gets into their customer-unfriendly, penny-pinching ways, including an unfortunate RyanAir experience I had with "overly heavy" luggage.

Funny. I live in Dallas, hometown to Southwest. Of course, I've only flown Southwest twice, solely because of Federal law. The Wright amendment, aimed at propping up DFW airport, prevents flights from Love Field from traveling very far, making it impossible to get to the places I fly without multiple legs. Tough to say wether I'd stop flying American (at 6'3" I like the legroom) to anyplace they fly direct, but it'd be nice to think I had the option of having the full Southwest experience without Washington getting in the way.

It helps that those european airlines dont pay VAT on the tickects , which can be 19% added to the purchase price, the bus and train services are screaming
