No frills can still be delightful
A budget airline for trans-Atlantic flights might sound daunting, but their pleasant and caring staff make the experience totally worthwhile. Just be prepared to pay for everything (including drinking water) while in flight... And there are no TVs... This is a totally 'no-frills' experience. However, they get you there safely and with smiles. I also like flying into Stewart International Airport, which is pleasantly low-key and accessible to New York via an Express bus, and if you are being picked up there is half an hour of free parking available. (Getting in and out of EWR and especially JFK if you're driving is expensive and can be a logistics nightmare. So the laid-back commute to Stewart Intl is a good trade-off; parking charges at SWL are comparatively reasonable). Overall, flying with Play Airlines makes the trip adventurous but safe and pleasantly laid-back. I really like that their staff are dressed in bright red and white and always approachable and cheerful.
