Vueling is the same on its Airbus A320 and 321 aircraft. WestJet was founded in 1996 as Western Canada’s low-cost airline, and the 2019 Skytrax Airline Awards acknowledged it as Canada’s low-cost airline. EasyJet goes 2.5cm less with its seat pitch but also the same distance wider. Aboard the single-aisle Boeing 737-800 that is the workhorse of Ryanair's fleet, seat pitch is 30 inches (76.2cm), width is 17 inches (43cm).

The sheer size of Ryanair, which carries more passengers across international borders than any other airline, the number of routes they fly, and their temptingly low base fares make it almost impossible to avoid this behemoth if you want to fly around Europe on the cheap. It's the airline all flyers love to hate, and love to fly. If you have to store your gear in a bin further back in the aircraft you'll have to wait until passengers in the seats behind have disembarked before you can retrieve your luggage. If you're on the second you might find all the overhead luggage bins within cooee of your seat are already packed. Loathe as I am to join the lemming rush to board, there are typically two buses and you want to be on the first. That means you'll probably be bussed out to your aircraft and bussed back at the other end. ![]() Airbridges incur a higher fee, and therefore budget airlines tend to park their aircraft some way distant from the terminal. Low-cost carriers do not typically use an airbridge to board their aircraft. Expect to catch a bus out to your aircraft ![]()
