The growth in budget airline choices is one of the most exciting travel developments of the past decade. But some travelers say the discounts require too much sacrifice. Here's an account of two one-way trips I made on one of the leading budget carriers. Your experience might be far different, depending upon factors such as luggage weight and meal preference, but I found no significant sacrifices and far better prices than were available on the same routes with other carriers.

Thanks so much for the informative article on EasyJet. I’ve recently heard it was the better way to travel in Europe economically. As I plan to o travel abroad for the next few years, this airline seems like the best way to go.
I would avoid limiting myself to one budget airline. Shop for the best combination of itinerary and low fare. I’d be interested in comments from people who have flown other budget carriers for their takes on the pros and cons.
