Flew EasyJet from London to Barcelona. Plane was new and on time. No complaints, especially at around $50 one way. Planes will be full but flights are quick and everyone gets on and off so quick that makes Southwest look slow.
Stansted Express train is quick and relatively cheap from London, the Airbus is even cheaper but takes longer.
This is the future of air travel. When the airline unions in the USA lose their power, expect similar service to expand here.
I especially like the ability to book one way flights in Europe. Makes for interesting open jaws or circle trips that can be on a combination of EasyJet, Ryanair, Buzz etc.
