who do you think is the best economy airline ? I want to travel to London in February and don’t want to break the bank . Thanks !
Also check airports that you can fly out of. We are doing a European tour next year and it is saving us $1,300 per person to fly west to LAX first and then fly to Europe. It is only costing us $200 pp to fly to LAX + 2 hotel rooms for one night, so we are still saving over $1,000 a person. It adds a few hours to travel time, but we are on vacation, so will have good books and things to relax with and enjoy. We will fly out a day early, spend the day at Universal, and then head over to LAX the next day. Bonus, get to throw a theme park into the mix.who do you think is the best economy airline ?

Yeh I noticed that , flying into Gatwick and taking the train seems like a better option for sure !you should check www.skyscanner.com its an airline price comparison website. Direct flights to Heathrow are the most expensive as Heathrow has high airport taxes. The next open for direct flights is to Gatwick. Both have very good rail transport to central London.
Other options are a layover flight, more layovers = cheaper price = longer travel time

Well the best cost is between Norwegian and British airlines , both fares I would need to pay for one checked bag ( we can share one ) , so it’s mostly which would be the better of the two . I can get either for around 380.00 . I’m leaning towards British because they offer in flight meals free even in economy.
View attachment 367521 I am sooo glad I purchased my tickets on cyber Monday ! The same flight I’m on is now CRAZY expensive. I only paid 822.00 for both tickets .
I would be interested in hearing how Norwegian was. We are considering a week in Paris next summer and Norwegian offers an Orlando/Paris flight that is much lower than other airlines.As far as budget airlines go, EasyJet is my clear winner. DO NOT GO RYAN AIR!
Will be flying with Norwegian Airlines in a few weeks from London to Vegas, technically a budget airline in it's own right. Will report back when I fly with them.
Used to fly with FlyBe to the Continent from Southampton Airport on the old BAE 146 aircraft and loved them! Since then they've rolled out an entirely new fleet of Embraers so could be worth a look.
Then there's FlyBMI from the Midlands to the Continent, but since I'm south coast I've never flown with them.
British Airways is fairly cheap now - could be worth a look? Flew business class a while back as a treat and unfortunately it was a bit grubby, so wasn't impressed.
