Easyjet has been named as best-value short-haul airline in the United Kingdom.
The ranking of Easy Jet by flight comparison website Skyscanner was created by comparing the fares and associated costs of 20 of the most popular carriers that operate in the UK, including in-flight food and drink, seat reservations and luggage fees.
Ryanair, the Irish carrier renowned for its low fares, boasted the lowest ticket costs of all the airlines, with an average fare of £90.67, but was priced out of the top 10 thanks to its baggage charges and on-board catering costs.
Skyscanner said that it is most important to note that if baggage charges and on-board catering aren’t important to travellers then Ryanair might be the one for them.
Easyjet, however, shot to the top of the table with both the second cheapest average fare (£121.52) and cheaper additional charges.
British Airways, the UK flag carrier, ranked in joint eighth place with Flybe and Air France, behind some of its legacy carrier rivals, including KLM and Lufthansa.
TripAdvisor named Jet2 the best airline in the UK in its annual Travellers Choice Awards. Skyscanner, however, found it to be just the seventh best value airline flying to or from the United Kingdom.
