Maybe people don't believe it.
The cheapest flight I can see on SouthWest.com is $60, for a 1 hour journey from Atlanta to South Carolina.
The cheapest flight with Ryanair from Copenhagen is $9, though it doesn't include checked luggage. It's also an hour.
An even cheaper one is Kraków to Eindhoven, 2 hours, $6. There are fewer dates for this price though.
- addaon 5y agoSouthwest is not really the equivalent of Ryan. Spirit airlines has plenty of $22.22 flights (for two's-day, I guess), glancing at their page today. This includes e.g. Chicago to Tampa, Texas to NJ, and other flights longer than most European flights.
- Symbiote 5y agoThanks, I hadn't heard of Spirit. They look very much in the style of Ryanair with the garish website. $22 for three hours (Boston-Miami) is priced between the two Ryanair flights, so I expect the "service" is similar. I'm sure the average distance of a flight within Europe is lower than in the USA, since the USA is a bit empty in the middle and Europe has more water in the way, but routes like Scandinavia to the Mediterranean (Stockholm to Zagreb is 3½ hours and $14), or Britain to eastern Europe (London - Cluj, 3 hours $13) aren't far off, and the budget airlines also have flights to tourist destinations in Egypt, Israel, Jordan etc, which are as long as a US coast-to-coast flight.
