Those planning to travel Europe by rail should seriously consider taking advantage of the continent's budget airlines. Although trains have offer the ability to see the countryside, to move around freely, and to eat, drink, and (sometimes) smoke while moving, flying provides a much cheaper alternative for breeching long distances. The growth of the budget airline in Europe has made air travel sometimes even cheaper than bus travel.

What is a Budget Airline?

Budget airlines run on strict budgets. The trend caught on big in Europe, beginning with London-based Easy Jet, but now most major European carriers run a low cost airline that operates under a separate name. The cheaper pricetag comes at the sacrifice of reduced bonus services commonly referred to as "frills." This means no reserved seating, no drinks, and no refunds. Although those accustomed to the Western phenomenon of forming a single-file line will be caught off-guard by the chaotic mad dash involved in boarding a European budget plane, Americans will not miss the lack of frills as increasing operating costs in the United States have translated to retractions of the free pretzals and sodas.
