Sprogster Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 krusty, you have hit the nail on the head, in that there are no real French direct equivalents to Easyjet and Ryanair as the French government are more concerned to protect the interests of Air France and the high speed rail network. In addition, French business bureaucracy and employment laws makes it difficult to apply the low cost business model! However, Easyjet have a Paris hub and Ryanair are building a hub in Marseilles, but otherwise travelling from France by air, especially from the regions, to other continental European countries is a much more expensive excercise than from the UK.

Carole Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have also been looking for cheap flights to and from Spain and it is crazy, but as far as I can see it is best to via the UK, unless anyone has any other ideas. I do hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicandJo Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 France might not have any low cost airlines but Spain sure as hell does.You can fly from Alicante to Paris with "Click Air" or Malaga to Paris with "Vueling". Then it's just a TGV ride to Lyon.I've flown on both Clickair and Vueling between Barcelona and Milan and found them to be very good. Vueling perhaps more so, very friendly and efficient. Brand new A320's used by both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Easyjet have just started using Lyon as a hub. So far only Barcelona in Spain, but give them time - there always seems to be a goodly line of folk heading for Terminal 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It is possible to fly Lyons to Madrid with Easyjet and Air Europe Madrid to Malaga or may be cheaper to take a train from Madrid.

Val_2 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You can fly Ryanair Paris to Portugal as my neighbours did in April. Rossigny? airport in the north of Paris was where they went from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
