Out of curiosity, what country is only served by Ryanair and Wizz Air?

Wouldn'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.

It 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

As 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.

  I’m not judging or implying anything, it just made me curious. What two cities are only connected by Ryanair and Wizz Air?

    Maybe between Scandinavia and Poland?

      I 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.

        Sorry 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.
