Unfortunately sometimes you have no choice, for example when I visit my parents in my hometown the only airlines that fly there are Ryanair and Wizz Air, both of which are absolutely terrible.
The alternatives would be transfers through different countries with a hugely increased cost.
- jen20 4y agoWizzair is MARKEDLY better than Ryanair. That said I would not fly them any more, I’d take a star alliance flight even with a connection.
- amscanne 4y agoOut of curiosity, what country is only served by Ryanair and Wizz Air?

- maxerickson 4y agoWouldn't it be the flight/connection that is the issue? I can fly to Detroit, no problem. To fly to Chicago, I first have to fly to Detroit.
- SECProto 4y agoIt sounds more like those are the only two airlines to provide a direct connection between the two airports. I recall flying between Hungary and Spain on Wizzair for a similar reason once
- temp_account_32 4y agoAs another commenter suggested, the two cities are only connected by these two airlines. People saying "I literally have a choice" don't understand that some people are not on 500k a year Silicon Valley salaries and we have to manage our finances and make compromises. I cannot afford to pay 500 EUR randomly to fly through a connection in another country instead of 50 EUR multiple times a year just to avoid a shitty airline. The alternative would be to refuse to see my family because I want to make a point about a shitty airline.
- amscanne 4y agoI’m not judging or implying anything, it just made me curious. What two cities are only connected by Ryanair and Wizz Air?
- idle76 4y agoMaybe between Scandinavia and Poland?
- amscanne 4y agoI tried some of the cities from Ryanair’s system map, and it seems Oslo <-> Poznan is serviced only by Ryanair and Wizz Air. It’s certainly interesting to me that there are mid-sized cities better served by discount airlines If I were temp_account_32, I think I would have would be grateful for those airlines, rather than focusing on their shitty aspects.
- temp_account_32 4y agoSorry I don't want to dox this account eventually by people being able to piece too much information together, but let's just say a larger European city and a smaller European city. And yes, I'm grateful that those connections even exist, it's just a shame that specifically those two are the ones servicing those routes. I suspect that there might not be enough demand for a better airline to step in.
