My two concerns with a low cost carrier could be (a) some pax not being aware of visa rules so the airline might be overly strict in trying to deny uplift and (b) the LCC may not have the resources to fully investigate the actual rules in a timely manner (since they try and run on skeleton staff).

I think allowing plenty of time at check-in, and a print out of the rules 9and whatever else you can get your hands on) should be fine!
