Europe by easyJet
easyJet scores 6.7/10 (safety 8.9/10), ranking #46 globally — no in-flight Wi-Fi on most aircraft. Baggage: Not included on basic fares. Paid options start at 15 kg or 23 kg, up to 32 kg..
easyJet is the UK's largest airline by passenger numbers, operating a pan-European low-cost network from bases including Gatwick, Luton, Bristol, and Manchester. Fares are among the lowest in Europe, but everything beyond a seat and small cabin bag costs extra — hold luggage, seat selection, and airport check-in all carry fees. Under UK261, easyJet delays of 3+ hours on UK-departing flights trigger fixed cash compensation of £220–£520 regardless of ticket price.
