[2023.10] UK Travel Diary - The LCC I used for my Europe Hopping
European LCCs are cheap and convenient!
I made the reservation through trip.com.
1. Brillingair
Route:
VY7823 London-Barcelona
VY2216 Barcelona-Seville
A low-cost airline from Spain.
Perhaps it's because of the country's culture, but the flight attendants were very cheerful.
When I got on board, the pilot's seat door was open and a child had gone to play, which made me feel the difference from Japan.
I was surprised to see so many people using the in-flight sales.
On Japanese LCCs, not many people buy in-flight sales.
The aircraft used was an Airbus-321.
It was a size larger than the planes used by Japanese LCCs, and had about 150 people on board.
On VY7823, I was lucky to be assigned a VIP-Seat, which was comfortable.
2. Ryanair
Route:
FR1204 Seville-Milan
An Irish low-cost airline.
Ryanair is a company that is committed to cutting costs, and if you check in at the airport, you'll be charged an additional fee of about 9,000 yen.
Therefore, you must check in with your smartphone.
The aircraft is a Boeing-737, which is rare for an LCC.
The overhead lockers and seats look like they've been used, so I wonder if the aircraft was donated from somewhere?
There was no in-flight booklet, and all in-flight sales were ordered through the app. The cost reduction is amazing.
It felt more like riding on a night bus than on a plane.
But the price is so cheap that I have no choice but to use it.
3. EasyJet
Route:
U28362 Milan-London
LCC from Luton, England.
Terminal 2 in Milan was a terminal exclusively for EasyJet.
The third terminal at Kansai Airport is similar to Peach.
The aircraft is an Airbus-319. This is the same model as a typical LCC in Japan. There were no particularly unusual services, so it felt similar to a Japanese LCC.
Bonus: Prime Air
Amazon's Prime Air was stopping in Milan!
