FIRST CLASS Battle! easyJet vs Ryanair vs Wizzair
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- First class with low cost carriers?! Today I'll be flying with easyJet, Ryanair and Wizzair to see who offers the best "first class" experience. Instead of skipping all of the extra charges I paid for ALL of them. This means I'll be getting fast track security, lounge access, priority boarding, seat 1A, an empty seat next to me and onboard fine dining!
Join me as I try this out on the 3 most popular low cost carriers in Europe.
Let me know in the comments which airport and airline you thought was the best and share your experience with low cost carriers!

I fly a lot of budget airlines. The thing about "priority boarding" is that nobody's buying it for the actual priority boarding, but so that you can bring on a cabin bag. Without buying the priority option, these carriers give you personal/under-seat item only. A lot of the time, they don't even bother boarding priority passengers early and just have everyone board at the same time anyway.
I also don't find paying for lounges to be worth it. £35 will get you a sit down meal at any airport restaurant if that's what you want. Otherwise, go to burger king for £10 and plug your phone in there too.
Honestly though, that Ryanair Panini looked pretty good. I may have to eye that up myself next time.
I've flown easy a few times. Each time when priority we boarded first. This was at Gatwick and in Portugal..
What about just booking the extra seat instead of priority/cabinbag. Can I just store my bag on there? And I have extra room as well.
I noticed that they usually start with the priority queue and then when thats empty they immediately switch to the normal queue so if you have priority but don't want to stand in the queue the entire time you will have some people from the normal Queue in front of you. They also often do Pre Boarding so everyone just has to wait anyways because they want everyone to walk straight onto the plane as soon as it's ready.
Definitely not for safety reasons 😂@@Flywolf79
Priority boarding makes no sense to me, you want to be the last passenger on not the first.
Why spend extra money just so I'm stuck on the airplane for longer instead of just relaxing in a cozy spot in the airport.
The overhead cabin bags are the only reason to do priority boarding with any airline.
Remember the TV show Come Fly with me from the makers of little Britain. " do you want a speedy boarding pass, we've sold one to everyone on the flight" XD
I don't know if easyJet are considered an "Ultra Low Cost Carrier" like the other two. More like just a "Low Cost Carrier". I think this is how they position themselves as well.
I think the moment you don't even get a carry-on bag for free you've got into ultra LCC territory. That being said, Easyjet at least sits you with your travelling companions for free, which Ryanair and Wizz don't and make you buy seat selection if you don't want to sit apart.
@@yaziyoeven full service carriers are charging you extra to take a bag on board nowadays
Easyjet are so much more expensive than Ryanair
Considering they don't charge for printing boarding passes and checking you in at the airport, yeah, definitely not on the same level. The check in being available 30 days before is also a huge difference when you just buy a ticket without any add ons. The anxiety I feel everytime I see the notification to check in in those 24hours before the flight with ryanair is not the best ahah. I worked with Wizz at the airport and they'd charge 47€ per person for check in... Insane amount, especially if you were travelling with a larger group.
Depending on where you hail from, a good analogy would be Southwest stateside. They provide a cheaper alternative to legacy carriers, with a narrow-body only fleet and greater frequencies of point-to-point services, but their pricing is not rock-bottom for basic fares.
I watch A LOT of Travel Videos but finally a fresh new take on this!
Wow thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
At 10:19 when his easyjet landed he's walking we're i walked a million or so times😂
a toastie with caviar on top, whilst sipping prosecco on an easy jet flight is maybe the wildest thing I've ever seen from my many flights with easy jet
It’s not Prosecco. It’s Cava.
@@MatthewBreckenridge-pg7mi oh well, it’s close enough
@@Kj_Gamer2614 anf it's 'lumpfish roe'... A rather similar experience to caviar... But still. A much reduced fish egg eating experience
Reminds me of the scene on Come Fly With Me where they sell a priority boarding ticket to every passenger.
Omar Baba, flylo 😂
So, the thing to consider here is the easyjet plus card. its about 200 quid, but gives you priority boarding, extra overhead storage, speedy security and a choice of seats near the front included.
Basically its like the standard plus upgrade on a ticket, with security at some airports too. guess it depends where you fly, but most flights i`ve looked at its about 45+ each way for the standard plus upgrade, so if you do 3+ return trips a year with easyjet then it`s worth it (if you need/want the extras like seats and baggage), if you fly once, just pay for the extra itself.
That's really useful - thank you!
I work for Ryanair and I have no complaints. they treat us very well
@hallemayes I love flying Ryanair. I avoided it for years, thinking it would be awful. How wrong was I? It is a passenger friendly airline.
after flying Easyjet for 10 years, i never knew you could reserve the seat next to you! This is gold! (no pun intended with BA)
It doesn't always work as I found out. For some flights they over book and fill all seats even when you book the seat next to you.
@@anthonykerr8795 do you get a refund?
If you put the correct "EXTRA SEAT" name it should be fine. If they do sit someone there for operational reasons I'm sure you'd be able to claim a refund for the ticket and seat fee. (I've even seen the middle seat in BA Club Europe being filled when trying to work through flight cancellation backlogs).
@@FlyManYanncan you just ad a family member with the right details to the seat next to you ,pay for it and them not just in up ?
@@FlyManYann Thanks for this information, I will be requesting a refund for my last flight right now. Great channel BTW
Good to see videos for the vast majority of air travellers.
Really enjoyed the video, informative and full of tips.
Only ever flown easyJet which were on time and flew me to the main airport of where I wanted to go every time I have used them.
Well, I'm glad that the algorithm suggested your channel to me. What a great video. New subscriber looking forward to watching your other stuff. I really enjoyed watching this. Totally into the extra seat hack, too. :)
Booking the middle seat, even in a normal economy row, is the best hack ever. I do it all the time. And you don't pay tax on the second seat. Great concept and viewing.
i work as a flight attendant for a lower budget airline in europe.
i love how you make sure to mention that so many people pay for priority boarding and it end up being not worth it. i have this discussion daily about people being mad for it. they don’t seem to realize there are over a 100 other passengers wanting the same thing as them, their suitcase near them (especially above their heads). there are 70 spaces for suitcases at the plane i work at mostly. this isn’t even 50% of the people we can take on board.
so if everyone wants their hand luggage with them and not underneath the plane, it won’t happen. the ground staff needs to count to 70 and the rest can’t fit in the overhead bins. i also have discussions about this very very often.
one small detail i noticed is about the 1st row seat normally not being sold often. i almost never have them completely free of almost free with an extra seat. often on full flights they will be given away randomly. if there is a space you can get charged to sit there on the plane. i always do this because the charge will go to the flight staff (depends on the airline) and so do many of my colleagues. it’s cheaper to book it beforehand than assuming it will be free to move later on
I've gone through Stansted plenty a time and never actually minded it. I always found somewhere to sit, decent food (at too high prices) and no issues with security (given enough lead time) or "standard" boarding. If you have sufficient patience, you can save a good amount of money and the plane leaves just as quickly as if you had spent more.
Great review. Love the novelty of doing first class reviews of low-cost airlines. Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for subscribing!
I have experienced Air Asia and Air Asia X among the ultra low cost carriers. Those short haul fights were quite good. It helped that their FastPass gave me FastTrack immigration and security at Kuala Lumpur, increased carry on allowance, and priority boarding for what easyJet charges for FastTrack alone. The food was also quite tasty for around $5 extra.
Really interesting video, got me thinking on how the experience is different in Asia.
So lets me start with 3 low cost carriers here: Air Asian.... Nok Air.... Thai Lion Air.....
Bangkok to Phuket... journey time 1hour 30 minutes. Key factor time of flight and day of flight..... weekends far more busy and expensive ( in relative terms) and better to fly earlier than later when any delays will build up during the day.
Airport experience: Yes we have lounges, but other than really busy times its not really worth paying extra, the general terminal seats are okay and mostly not over crowded. There are plenty of eating and drinking facilities, and a few shops.... We are using the domestic terminal not the international terminal.
Security generally no more than 10 minutes as standard so no fast track required.... Phuket airport almost always is a double check on any carry on luggage.
Seat comfort... Asian seats as slightly smaller that those in Europe, leg room much smaller as well. ( don't go for the middle seat, window seat will be a bit cramped, isle seat more leg room) Don't get seats in row 1 to 3 these are normally where families with young children are located, so if you are not liking crying babies or kids with ants in their pants then keep well away. Emergency exits give the best leg room. Here Thai Lion Air have the best seat comfort in size.... worst is Air Asia, and Nok depends if it a new model aircraft.
Boarding forget fast track it will save you about 5 minutes...... boarding in normally row 1 - 15 then 16- 30 and then 30+... but generally after the boarding of special needs and those with children you can get on regardless.
Of course the earlier you board the more chance you get to carry on baggage near your seat.
Food as a rule on these short flights there is none, though that is not always the case, on some flights your get a sweet bun and water ( free) honestly if you can't stop eating for 2 hours then really you should not be flying. However yes there are exceptions.
Toilets always cleanish... but an airline toilet on budget is best avoided if at all possible.
Staff Nok and Lion Air almost always very friendly and helpful, Air Asia think they have a different training plan.... okay but not great.
Frequency: Air Asian have the most flights, then Nok and least is Lion Air...... delays Nok seem to be delayed the most.
Value again depends n day and time of travel.... and if close to a holiday or peak season.... Frights one way from $30 USD up to $200 USD.
Can book online, pay on line, check in on line, and print boarding pass on line or at kiosks... hard ever need to visit the check in desk unless you have hold luggage.
Asian Culture thing....... remember those face masks ?...... carry one.... or wear it if you have any cough or sniffle..... you will be asked to wear one....
Taxi's at airports .. No No No... badly overpriced... get collected by friends or a resort or get the airport bus in Phuket or the train in Bangkok.
If you want to do first class use the national carriers ...... Asian Budget is a far better experience that European Budget....
Gatwick , Luton and Stanstead are not London..... they are at least 30 miles away .... I don't know how they get away with porkie pie.
lumpfish eggs are no caviar...
Very true - I considered buying real caviar but thought lumpfish would do the trick for the sake of the video!
Great video Yann, really informative, thank you 😀
i am terrified of flying, so i am using your videos as an exposure therapy , the fact that you really like flying helps me come to terms with the idea of flying ( but I don't honestly believe that one can love flying, i just can't wrap i around my head😅😅😅). p.s. the idea of getting all the extras is amazing
Read "Taking the Fear out of Flying" by Maurice Yaffe. The classic on overcoming your fears
Agree with Yann’s conclusions. Wizz is the most expensive of the LLCs, and although its planes are newer on average there are some filthy floors and clapped out seats in the fleet. LTN is preferable to STN any day of the week, but both are inferior to LHR which, if booking ahead or using/buying Avios, can get you into Club Europe for a similar outlay. Enjoyed seeing Yann’s personality in this one 👍
I've flown Wizz a fair amount recently and have always ended up on the newer A321neos (which are fairly nice), but in the past I've flown on some of their older A320s and the state of them was as you describe. And definitely agree - LHR is always my go to
@@FlyManYannunfortunately it's not just their A320s. I've flown 2 years old A321neo and it was super dirty, the floor had black dirt, the seats were broken and the crew was terrible. Unfortunately I don't understand their system, because they really have the newest fleet and I would assume they would be the best
They are also much more unreliable and prone to frequent schedule changes and cancellations
Terrific review. I travel a lot and this was one of the best reviews I've seen.
Liking the concept and a good review as always. For me, business class on a budget airline is having the middle seat free, first class is having the entire row to yourself!
So Ryanair was the only true first class flight 😆 thanks for watching!
Business class on a narrowbody airplane like the a320 and the 737, is just that. Economy class seats with a free middle seat. If you want real business class seats you have to watch out for the sparingly used wide body flights within Europe, like the B777 to Istanbul.
On Wizz there can be max of 50% of Priority pax (due to overheads capacity) so that means 115. I'm not sure that's the same case with others, but people buy Priority on Wizz just for the carry on mostly. From my experience usually less than half of those passengers use the priority lane at the gate. A long time ago there was a separate service for a large cabin bag and wizz express lane which actually was good as there was top of like 20-30 Prio Boarding passengers.
I’m usually not fond of travel videos, as some of them includes unnecessary clips that took way longer than I expected. However, this video got me through the end. Loved it!! 😊
You should do the same video for TUI vs Jet2
Great video to compare 3 main Europe LCCs with 3 London airports! I still "miss" the time when travelling with Ryanair with 3 pounds only what they called "volcanic eruption sales" in 2010s! eager to see your coming videos!
Imagine paying for the seat next to you to be empty, the dream of every flight reporter 🤪🤪
Great video, liked this different challenge style of content!
Thank you - was trying something different, glad you enjoyed it!
One thing I probably would have done on that Ryanair flight is moved over and sit in 1B. Since 1C was also empty this would mean you could spread your legs and arms on both sides which imo would be a lot more comfortable.
Great video. When you moved that plate for the pancake it reminded me of myself. It was in the right spot to begin with!
Great video! I am trying to avoid low-cost flights unless they are the only option and suit my needs from point A to point B. You end up paying for everything that is already included on a regular airline, so the price is pretty much the same. However, you might sometimes have a bad experience at the airport or encounter a careless flight crew because they know it is a low-cost airline and don't care as much-not always the case, though. And by the way, I fly every week or every two weeks.
Absolutely love the idea!
I really hope your channel gets more attention soon, because I love your style of content
As an American I get to experience RYAN AIR for first time this October from Glasgow to Dublin. Highlight of my trip and hope I’m not let down 🤣
Ryanair has the worst seat ever. And they are famous for a hard landing. Be prepared. My neck hurt two days because the plane fell abruptly down nearly three meter.
Enjoy being disappointed
You'll regret it
good thing is, it's a short flight. Their seats are horrible
@@vkdrkI think you guys are acting like it is worse than it actually is. I am 6'5 and its fine for a 3 hour flight.
This is really cool!
I'm going to try this out myself when I go back to Thailand.
4:05 There's a Thai low cost airline called Nok Air, who have their own lounge that you pay £15 to use, it's essentially a yellow-clad hole in the wall with a small selection of soft drinks, hot drinks, a few slices of pizza and some pan-asian buffet options.
Amazing video, I just subscribed
Great vid.. definitely sounds like paying for fast track security is worth it.
Lounges seem pretty expensive, and priority boarding depends on how many others book it on the day.
Fast track is definitely worth it in my opinion. Lounges are expensive if you pay the full rate but I would usually access them using a lounge card (via a credit card) which means it is usually free (or discounted). Priority boarding is great if there's only a few of you but as was the case in this video, a lot of people had it which negates the benefits.
Great video, I loved the concept.
Thank you!
Awesome vid mate!
Cheers!
Step 1: pay extra to get through security faster and save time.
Step 2: pay extra to 'burn time' in a lounge
... makes sense ...
It does, actually because the lounge has food and entertainment while security doesn't
Really fun and original idea for an aviation video. I've not seen anyone else do this. 🎉
Appreciate it 🙏
Honestly as long as one is doing reasonable, the airport lounge is a must when travelling. If you buy one drink and small meal out in the concourse it's going to run you close to 30 clams anyways. Might as well get all you wish to partake. Thank you for the video.
Your so underrated man! Love your vids
That's a good fun review! You had a better easyJet experience than me, I flew MAN - PMI, PMI - MAN at the weekend with easyJet and the crew ran out of sandwiches/hot food options on a 10:25 flight.
Yeah I noticed this on some of my flights, unless you were in the first few rows, the food options ran out fairly quickly. Surprising that even on a first flight of the day they don't have full catering...
I'm a OW FF, and haven't tried an LLC here. I appreciate your method of doing things.
Recline on SH should be off limits - even on flag carriers. It can really spoil a flight.
An additional comment. I love this video and will be watching more. Keep it up mate !! 😊
Very much enjoyed this video, if only to confirm that I'd rather pay BA for Club Europe! But it was good to see the different airlines and how they charge for various extras! I'm flying Easyjet in the next month, hand baggage only, so only purchased my seat selection and not priority boarding. Glad I made that decision now!!
Very interesting and well-edited video!
Cheers - glad you liked it!
Great video concept.
Nice comparison. I'm not sure that easyJet is considered an "ultra" low cost carrier though. It's not actually that different from short haul BA economy these days, especially now that BA charge for hold baggage, food etc. on many of its short haul routes. It's when airlines start charging for things like airport check-in that the word "ultra" kicks in!
That's fair. BA short haul has definitely lowered to a more LCC standard in the past few years to compete with the actual LCCs. easyJet actually let me print my BP at the airport but I assumed it was because I paid for speedy boarding, it looks like they don't charge for this, only Wizz and Ryanair.
@andybaker2456 I just said something very similar below, I didn't see your comment beforehand, but I agree, easyJet kind of position themselves between Ryanair / Wizz and the "mainstream" carriers. I actually read somewhere that everyone assumes "Low Cost" means low cost to the passengers, but actually it means low operating costs to the airlines, which if you look at some easyJet fares (£500+ basic fare UK to Cyprus one way, for example) rings true!
My initial reaction when this video popped up: *RYANAIR AND EASYJET HAVE A FIRST CLASS?!*
Caviar on a ham and cheese toasty seriously ... I love it 😂
Fun video, and helpful tip about the extra seat. If you go on a Ryanair 737 MAX, try seat 2A for epic legroom as there is no A seat in Row 1.
But do you really want to be near the door on a Max?
I really enjoyed watching you :) i fly a lot to and from London so I'm familiar with all the airports over there, kudos 😅
I remember when Wizz Air tried to establish itself in Norway, it led to a bunch of problems. The Norwegian people just rejected Wizz Air, because of the perceived abuse of their employees, and it even went so far as Wizz Air suing the Norwegian State for boycotting them. It was fun to see how Wizz Air tried to establish itself in a market whilst at the same time making their potential customers never want to fly with them
They sued the state because it gave financial aid to Norwegian to avoid bankruptcy. Wizz was counting on Norwegian going bankrupt, so it can increase the prices.
Awesome video! Looks way better than our low cost carriers in the US. I find that more often than not, my travel is mostly influenced by the people I encounter. Anyway, I’m lucky that I’m Executive Platinum on AA so I get upgraded almost every flight. No low cost carriers for me in the US. It’s not worth the savings!
This video makes you channel deserve way more than 6k subscribers. Subscribed.
If I was to fly low-cost I would consider some of those options, looks fun. For us BA gives us a stress free experience when we fly to the UK, worth the small extra cost if there even is a difference.
Interesting video. Not a usual avgeek. Kudos. Although I avoid low costers like a plaque
Thanks for watching! And yeah I agree, sometimes there's a particular route/timing that's better on LCCs but I usually try to stick with BA, especially with status, it makes the airport experience much nicer.
When I flew to Budapest I did a cost comparison between easyjet and BA. The ticket for BA which included a checked bag was a couple of pounds more expensive than easyjet with the added checked bag. With the cost of getting to either Luton (easyjet) or Heathrow (BA), the BA option was considerably cheaper.
You're a man after my own heart sir
The quality of this video is insane I expected someone with way more than 6.6k subscribers
Its lovely to see a youtube finally exposing these first world problems. Well done on you.
Love how before you hit the lounge you were sober, and then afterwards were definitely not lol
Great idea this video! Thanks! But as you said - worth to consider 1st class on BA or any other of Lufthansas, Air France, Austrian etc. My best expereince - Austrian. Food wise, crowd wise, politness, great landings etc. OK, planes may be older but their food, which is free even in economy! wins all the time
A great tip for Salzburg airport as I am a frequent flyer there - on the top floor there is a fabulous self service restaurant serving up traditional Austrian food alongside freshly made pizzas. Next door there is a waiter service restaurant which feels very special to have in an airport of this size, though it’s not always open.
You’re right about Ryanair having hard landings. Last time I flew with them from EMA - Barcelona El Prat, the landing was undoubtedly the hardest landing I’ve ever experienced 😉
love your channel
Great videos mate
Love the caviar touch
Glad you enjoyed! I'm glad I won't have to scoop caviar onto toasties in front of other passenger ever again!
Brilliant video new subscriber here!
Love the concept of this video, Yann. I flew easyJet once from Gatwick to Berlin, didn't pay for any of the priority extras, definitely didn't take caviar on board, but overall, I was pleasantly surprised. The flight was on time, boarding was organised and efficient, the crew were really friendly and laid back, and everything went smoothly. The alternative was Lufthansa or British Airways, and tbh, the savings on the easyJet flight were hard to ignore, which is why I went with this. Would definitely fly with them again. No, it wasn't first class, but then I wouldn't have been paying for Business Class on those legacy carriers anyway (I'll leave that to my friend Yann!). Cheers for an interesting video, hope you enjoyed your time in those three interesting European cities... which one was your favourite?
Glad you enjoyed the video! I usually prefer to fly BA on short hauls because of my status, but if the price is a lot cheaper on LCCs, then I usually just fly with them. If it's a case of paying £50 for easyJet or £80 for BA then I'l go with BA. But recently I was flying to Milan and EZY was £100 and BA was £300 - of course I flew with EZY because the value of fast track, lounges and priority boarding clearly isn't worth the extra £200. To answer your question, I would have probably said Budapest, but since I've been here before I'll go for a different one. When I flew to Warsaw, I actually caught a train straight to Krakow and had a great few days there, so I'll go with Krakow 🇵🇱
@@FlyManYann I’d love to visit Budapest. It looks amazing. I spent a week in Krakow a few years ago and really loved it. And yeah… it definitely depends on the difference in price as to whether it’s worth flying on the low cost carriers or not. Enjoy your next trip Yann. 🫶✈️
First class on RyanAir is like dream come true !
I used to buy Easyjet speedy boarding but so often it does not exist. Usually herded like cattle and stand on the air bridge or in a small holding space for 20 minutes.
Yep - exactly what happened to me here! And depending on where you are it can get really hot or cold being stuck on those jet bridges for a long time.
Hey good video mate, keep it up
Thank you!
Nice review. Must have been a bit of a come down for you after real first class flights! 😂 Looking handsome as always 😊
Honestly, with the middle seat empty, it was fairly comfortable. But to be fair, it was only 2 hours 😅
I’d like the se what lounge is available departing from Newcastle on Ryan air!
refreshingly different take!
I cant find videos about klm would you please make a video about it? It was an amazing video btw.
Flynas has a fancy airport lounge in Jeddah as well! Great video, loved it and going to be travelling on all three of these airlines very soon haha!
Flynas is a sub of Saudia
I've been buying extra seat on Wizz for years now so I can travel with my cello. I've never called costumer service to confirm my extra seat.
respect where due. Unique idea, great quality... you've got a new subscriber!
I like the trick of 'best seat on worst airline' Did it recently down to Florida on Spirit Airway's 'Big Front Seat' It was not bad. And a few years ago, did Norwegian's Business class for less than Virgin or BA's Economy. That was luxurious, and included lounge access! Now our luggage didn't make our plane, as is typical of a bad airline, but otherwise great.
Enjoyed watching this video. And bringing a jar of caviar with you to enjoy on budget airlines is brilliant. Good for you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've found that BA Club Europe are often cheaper than the low cost carriers especially when you add 2x32KG hold bags and 2 cabin bags and a reclining seat. For me, It's BA every time.
I've flown Easyjet and Wizzair ... still haven't got round to Ryan Air yet. Been on so many long haul carriers like British Airways, Qatar, Emirates, Biman
As an aviation nerd, I fly on Wizz just because they have them IAEs on their A320s and some A321s, and that's the best entertainment I can ever get on a flight lol
Waitrose Monk Fish Cavier! Nice touch mate haha! I’m enjoying your vids thank you
Haha I considered buying proper caviar from the caviar kitchen at the airport but thought I'd save myself a few £££ 😂
It’s nice but not real caviar off-course 😂
Having visited that easyjet lounge once myself, I think they saw you reviewing and wanted to get you out before you tried the buffet food or a coffee 😂
i somewhat feel like if the lounge is that busy you should get some sort of compensation surely your paying for a bit of peace and quiet? Great Video also found yourself a new sub here
Does BA still provides lounge access to business class within Europe? Last time when i was flying in the US with Delta, that's no longer available :(
Yes, if you fly BA Club Europe (business class) you still get access to the same lounges as long-haul first class from Heathrow. You'll also get lounge access from airports within Europe too. USA is a bit different when it comes to lounge access unfortunately.
This was a brilliant idea for a video! I like the thinking outside the box. Subbed 👍
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for subscribing 🙏
Well this was interesting, factual and entertaining to watch. I never knew you could do all these upgrades with them. I’ve used Ryanair from Stansted and EasyJet from Luton but not Wizz Air.
I've flown a fair amount with Wizz recently, I actually quite like them!
I took the front row seat in easyjet once but there was no wall and i was sitting facing in front of one FA for the whole departure and arrival was a bit awkward
Yeah it's definitely a bit awkward - for the Ryanair flight in this video I was facing 2 crew on take off and landing!
How do you only have 4980 subs? I really really enjoyed watching!
Would love to hear your review of Singapore Airlines and Singapore Changi Airport!
As a kid, I flew with the family with easyjet to Edinburgh. On the flight to Scotland, nobody cared about me having a laptop bag in addition to my suitcase. When boarding the return flight, the crew at the gate told me (a 12-ish y/o kid) I had to put the laptop into my suitcase. Of course the pressure of all the clothes in the suitcase damaged the display... In the plane I told my parents that I don't understand why i needed to put my laptop into the suitcase but every woman on the plane was allowed a handbag in addition to their suitcase. To this day, I don't understand this philosophy of EasyJet. That said, since that trip, I've avoided flying easyjet
Same here. They were so unpleasant about a minor luggage issue that I will never fly them again. They actually recommended that to me - as they hate their own extremist rules too.
I think it would’ve been interesting how much the same flight on a more “premium” carrier would cost to decide whether a “first” class low cost or economy premium carrier would be the better choice
This was a very interesting video. I can say that I have never considered fast track security before but for the price it looks well worth it. Priority boarding has always been a mystery to me - if I have a booked seat I like to be the last on, what's the point in sitting in the plane any longer than you have to?
One question, what would your reaction be if some chancer got in your "comfort seat"? I like these extra seat hacks too, again it seems worth doing for the money.
If this video is anything to go by you'll soon be giving Noel and Josh a run for their money good luck! Subbed.
What you got in that bag Yann!!? haha - great video as usual man
Lots and lots of caviar 😎 appreciate it - glad you enjoyed!
I didn't know about the Extra Seat trick with Easyjet. I would definitely do it. How does it work in practice though? Do you need to have two boarding passes printed and scanned at the gate to ensure the extra seat you've booked and paid for isn't given away to a standby passenger?
