Cage match: Eurostar versus Easyjet
We've all seen the one cent ultra-cheap fares that Ryanair, Easyjet and and other low cost carriers (LCCs) frequently offer from European hubs. It's a great way to skip around the EU if you're flexible and haven't got a lot of cash; it thus has recently become pretty popular with students and vacationers on a limited budget.And as most of us know, the one cent fares come with strings attached. Taxes and fees can add multiple dollars and fees and constraints on routings often require you to travel to an out-of-the-way airport in order to catch a flight at a strange time of the day. Additionally, extra charges during transit such as baggage and meal purchases can add further cost to an airplane journey.
Needless to say, when traveling over a longer distance, it's usually a good idea to take the low cost carrier, plan well and be frugal during your travels. But over shorter distances accessible by rail or coach, that line blurs.
