Opening a new thread to talk about flying inside Europe
Noting this post from Sam
This has been my experience too
Travelling point to point and booking a few days out
Some examples
The pricing structure seems to be overlapping while it looks like 4Y & 3J options with prices going higher as the plane fills up
As well the J inclusions would IMHO be worth more than the price difference
Priority Queue at checkin
Fast track at Security - godsend when LONG queues
Lounge Access (free beer and food)
Group 1 boarding
Front cabin seats so extra floor space and a neighbour free seat and then on landing first Orf
Free meals on board (and G&T)
Free restricted wifi (not on all)
As a paid package = great
The distances around Europe are deceptively longer than I imagined. I’ve taken several flights of around 2.5 hours (like it’s 4,000 kms from the north of Poland to Santiago de compestola)
J cabin = 30,000 QFF points plus co-payment
Y cabin = 14,000 QFF points
ITA Munich to Rome
These prices are for 2 passengers
No free wifi
The inclusions above were worth every 60 Euros I paid for the fare
ITA cheap economy offers no checked baggage (well at an extortionate price) and no meals
And yes there are high demand days like F, S, S when most Europeans are on leisure times and otherwise working or raising children
. As well “, these lower cost J are available Upto 2-3 days before flying unlike in Australia where these (Rex aside) seem to vanish around 2 weeks out
So if the gap from Y no inclusions fares to J is Upto 60 Euros, it’s probably worth the extra spend
PS think I also earnt 100 SCs for the $542 J paid IB Fare

Internal Flights in Europe
I just came back from an extended trip to Europe (I completed the 810km Camino de Santiago). I made a number of internal flights with Iberia and Vueling. Despite scathing reviews about Vueling on various forums, I found them to be as good as Iberia (or better)and a third of the price. My only...
