If you're talking low cost, Ryannair, Easyjet are way ahead of
Southwest, Jetsgo, Westjet. WAY ahead. (ro way worse depending on point
of view).
And in fact, this past august, for the first time, Ryannair carried more
people in its "regional" network than British Airways carried in its
worldwide network for August. (caveat: BA had the gate gourmet strike
which reduced its pax numbers).
The LCCs in north america are not so "no frills" anymore, and many now
provide entertainment and comfortable seats. In fact, it can be argued
that for some LCCs in north america, their on-board service is equal to
or better than many of the legacy carriers. |
