Those cheapie last minute European flights are exactly what I

If longer flights averaged about $300 per 1000 miles (RT) I think they could
re-implement luxury. Sorry, just my 2 cents.
Have you ever flown Easyjet? In my experience it's very comparable to most legacy carriers and fairly pleasant. Everyone likes to throw around Ryanair as emblematic of Euro cheap fares but it would be like saying JetBlue/Virgin/etc.. is the same as Spirit in the US.
