I didn't expect much from this discount airline but didn't expect to get ripped off…read more Upon check-in, we weighed our 2 lightest bags first which we paid for in advance. Upon weighing the 3rd bag, the agent told us we would need to pay for it which I expected. What I didn't expect was that it would be $80! I later found out that bags are priced by weight, so the agent could have charged us for one of our lighter bags. I also found that we also could have openned up the app right there and paid another $15 for a 3rd bag. So I'm pissed that we got a sh!thead agent who knowingly charged us more than she had to. This is certainly cultural for the airline where they do not instill in their employees the need to take care of their customers best interests. Honestly I would probably fly them again if it was really cheap but only because I know better about their baggage scams and crappy customer service.

Can I give Vueling less than 1 star? So many negative reviews on this low-cost carrier and I…read morethought that won't happen to me. I was wrong. I had an issue with 2 carry-ons that complied with cabin baggage requirements, and even paid $25 each at the time of booking to check the bags in the hold (carry-ons were $15 each; I didn' care if I paid $10 too much). But they not only refused to let me carry them on, they charged another $130 (not a typo). The gate agent told me I could file a claim and get a refund, which turned out to be false. After weeks of trying to convince Customer Service that I paid for the bags to be in the hold -- and that's exactly where they put them -- they prevented me from talking with a supervisor, denied the claim, and refused to issue any refund or even partial credit for future travel. (You'd think that'd be a win-win, as I'd be spending more money with Vueling and give them a second chance.) Now, no way I'm flying Vueling again, and I'd caution you to avoid flying Vueling unless you're a glutton for punishment, hidden fees, and awful Customer Service.

Madrid Airport (MAD) will drive you mad! It's less of an airport and more of an Olympic sport. I…read moredon't think I've walked this much in an airport in my life. You don't go to your gate here, you migrate. The herding cattle comparison feels generous. And the S gates! Those aren't gates. That's another country. Possibly another time zone. You'll clear security, think you're close, and then walk for what feels like a TED Talk's worth of time. Trains, corridors, more trains, more corridors. This place can absolutely accommodate mass movement of humans in every emotional stage of travel: aloofness, confusion, rage, and finally acceptance.

We flew Ryanair from Sevilla to Valencia (and back). It is true that you constantly feel like…read moreRyanair is trying to screw you over- from the requirement that you print your own boarding pass (or else they charge you) to the rules about luggage weight and size (if your bag is too big, they charge you) to the reminders that if you are not an EU resident, you must stop at the visa check desk before proceeding through security (or else they charge you). When I finished reading through the 10+ emails Ryanair had sent me in advance of my flight, I felt an intense wave of anxiety. But, truth be told, both of our flights were painless- no one was really checking the size or weight of anyone's bag (admittedly, no one had anything insanely big), the flight staff was friendly (and I actually felt bad for them having to constantly sell things - food, drinks, lottery tickets, BioParc tickets), and the flight was on time. For a budget airlines, they are way better than the American alternative (looking at you, Spirit Airlines). So, in short, play by their crummy rules, and it's a cheap and convenient way to get around Europe.

When we were flying from Madrid to Lisbon, someone got sick on the plane and they held up our plane for 4 hours! To get 3 people off the plane! It was ridiculous and no updates on what was going on! Another time, when the flight from Nice to Marrakech was cancelled due to the rain. They kept us on the plane for 3 hours. Another 6 hours to get our hotel and taxi vouchers for the night. Another 3 hours wait to get a taxi and get to our hotel. Logistics for this airline is just nonexistent. In Madrid, we didn't have a sticker for the stroller and the guy at the desk told us to go back through the gates to get one when our flight was leaving in 15 minutes. We argued with him and he finally got us a ticket from his desk! We missed a flight leaving Marrakech and the next flight was in 3 days. Seriously!?! We had 20 minutes left until the airplane left but they wouldn't even let us get to the gate. I get that my husband was the weirdo who got the time wrong, but make exceptions sometime instead of giving people the only other option to be stranded in a city for 3 more days! Next time, stick with the trains when leaving a city to go to another country nearby.
