Looking at flights from Dublin to Berlin this summer, and it looks like Ryanair has the best flight times-of-day and prices... but I've heard horror stories.
Anyone use it? Should I steer clear? I know it's no frills with lots of added fees for carry-ons etc. But I am thinking that will still be cheaper than other options.
Weirdly there are not a ton of options between Dublin and Berlin.
That being said there are lots of low cost carriers in Europe to choose from: EasyJet, Wow, Wizz, Transavia, Vueling, etc.
I've flown on all of them and survived.
Not sure if it is as good today but I used to live it.
I probably wouldn't use them for more than a two hour flight.
One time I used them for work. The flight was 160 euros, the equipment I needed to bring was 1400 euros.
I probably wouldn't use them for more than a two hour flight.
LOL - I was going to say only for a 1 hr flight
It is no frills, you get nickel and dimed but they are ok.
If you are flying during meal time, bring your own food.
If you're not from an EU or Schengen country, just be aware that you need to get your passport checked by Ryanair themselves to ensure you have a valid visa. They typically only do this at the check-in counter and not the gate.
