We are going from Paris to Budapest in June. I've never flown on a LLC and find Ryanair's rules complex and costly. They have a flight for $68 from BVA but it looks like their last flight of the day. EasyJet has a flight from CDG for $138, Transavia for $109 from Orly and Airberlin for approximately $200. Which has the most reliability and economy when you factor in all the added costs? I am also a bit worried about being on the last flight of the day in a small airport.

Also does anyone know a good, low cost insurance with trip cancellation that would cover my booking a new ticket with another carrier if one of the LCC didn't depart? I read some horror stories about LCC but I don't know how common that is. Thanks so much for your assistance!
