Cheap Airlines Within Europe

Getting around in Europe can be quite costly if a traveler is unfamiliar with the best places to find low airfares. Depending on where a person wishes to travel, there are a number of cheap airlines that will get the job done efficiently and for a far lower price than some of the more frequently flown companies.

Aer Arann
Since 1970 Aer Arann has been operating its fleet of planes to service passengers from Ireland and beyond. In the beginning the airline was created to service about 1,000 islanders in Inishmore, an island off the western coast of Ireland, so that the residents could reach Dublin. Since then Aer Arann has added 600 weekly flights that take passengers along more than 40 routes across Ireland, the United Kingdom and all of Europe. In addition to lower than average fares, Aer Arann does not charge for baggage under 15 kg (around 30 pounds) and has no check-in fees. The airline offers speedy check in times at 30 minutes and all seats are assigned to avoid scrambling for seats on board.
