Ryanair dominates European short-haul with bases across the continent. Fares can be extremely low on sale routes but rise sharply with add-ons. Punctuality is generally better than legacy carriers on comparable routes.
Avoid if you need flexible tickets, included baggage, or a comfortable seat pitch. Compare with easyJet for a slightly more inclusive LCC experience.
Combining ANA domestic hops with the JR Pass for a birthday trip through Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hokkaido.
All Nippon Airways' flagship international lounge at Haneda — Japanese dining, spa treatments, and 15-minute city access for UK–Japan business travellers.
The Star Alliance shared lounge at LAX Tom Bradley — live cooking stations, outdoor terrace, and the primary premium ground product for Lufthansa, ANA, and Singapore Airlines departures.
