Europe's BEST vs WORST Airline

Today I Flew Europe's Best and Worst Airline in order to find out how good and bad they actually were and what the differences were like! Lufthansa and Ryanair are both considered to be the best and worst airlines in all of Europe but how different can they really be? I show you everything from the check in, to the in flight experience and all the interactions with staff so we can truly see how each airline compares to one another!

Dude, Copenhagen is in Denmark and Naples in Italy and you're flying on a German airline. I think it's not too much of a stretch to expect a layover in Germany 🙂. Otherwise, it's like expecting American Airlines to have a direct flight from Montreal to Mexico City 😅

[@pastvz2781]

I mean Ryanair is an Irish airline lol

[@peterpolyglot2294]

@pastvz2781 Lol I knew I was gonna get someone to troll me with a Ryanair comment. Ryanair is Irish in name only. It isn't a national airline and has a rather unique business model with hubs all over Europe. Lufthansa is a national airline. A flag carrier with hubs only in Germany. So yea, it is literally like expecting to fly from Montreal to Mexico on American without a stop somewhere in the U.S.

[@Azigazikacsa]

Then how did i see, and fly with many lufthansa flight, from hungary to london? :) Google a bit bro, don't say dumb things without reseach

[@peterpolyglot2294]

@@Azigazikacsa Lol I don't need to google it I used to work for Lufthansa not too long ago and I've worked in the airline industry in Europe for years. It's simply not the operating model of these airlines to offer direct flights between airports that aren't hubs. But since you're making stuff up, I have actually googled it. I went on Lufthansa's own website, and guess what. Lufthansa doesn't offer direct flights from Hungary to London. Not sure what you're smoking.

the thing with these low cost airlines like ryanair is that you can’t expect more than a seat on the plane. i’ve flown spirit and ryanair and have never had an issue, it’s really just point A to point B.

I've sat in seats after a kid was in it, which is always highly questionable on sanitation standards. On a flight, I also saw a parent change their baby's diaper on the food tray, after which the soiled diaper flipped over soiling the tray. They just lazily wiped it away and closed it up. After that, I always carry sanitation wipes to use onboard.

[@javianjohnson8746]

I have flown with ryanair 6 times and as an European I think they are very cheap if u buy the ticket in advance. On the other hand, they are a budget airline so we just use it to go from point A to point B. Overall was nice, I even had a smooth landing, sometimes very clean and the stuff always very nice.

[@DaGuys470]

@@thefitnesslife4988 I mean, it depends. I recently bought tickets with them which were like 50€, after adding everything I needed (bags, reservation and stuff) it came out to like 150€. Ryanair is great for short hops, where you won't have much luggage and no extras needs, for your regular vacation trip it straight up sucks.

[@pavelocz3689]

I have flown the longest flight you can do on ryanair in the same interior as you and it lasted 6 hours and my back didn’t hurt at all and idk how could it even cost that much cause the most i ever paid for a ryanair flight was 80 euros and k flew with them about 16 times but overall great video

Well, they were nineteen when they were dating, and living together, now they were about 21 or 22. That is a lot of time for them to grow up and change, especially _those_ years. But, I haven't been able to learn what the issue was that broke them up? Did it involve how to divide the royalties earned by their videos?

[@szilagyi0601]

Hi! Just a quick comment, the check-in and the gate workers are usually airport staff and not employments of the airlines. I work at a bigger european airport, and I’m not a check in agent, but what I know is, they are just randomly sorted out to a flight (one day it can be a Lufthansa, on the other a Wizzair).

Even if the prices were inverted, my comfort is with $35. I’ve never had a seat hurt my back and I’ve flown on Frontier’s worse seat. The cheapest I’ll go is Southwest at this point.

But if the prices were as they are and the LC airline was identical in service, but arrived on time, which would you choose? The traditional carriers are taking all the LC airline cost savings tricks but NONE have done anything but raise prices. They treat us like fools

Why the Ryanair ticket is more expensive is because the route has higher demand. Just like flying from London to Athens with Ryanair, it can go from less than 50 euros a flight to more than 400 euros on a flight depending on the timing. The prices tend to be higher during public holidays and summer holidays but very cheap during normal working days. So next time when doing flight reviews, try to do the same destination as the same city and it would be better if is it the same airport! And Lufthansa got lower price is because the route has lower demand. The route demand can change a lot in a matter of short times, mostly because of timing and location.
