ITG 🇮🇸 Oct 2021 8:35am, 22 Oct 2021 13,673 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 Spend about 2000 euros to try to get us to Italy and back for Christmas and still need to find an apartment for 5 nights in Scotland. Trying not to think of all the thing that can go wrong. DS13 and I are taking easyjet for part of it and they have always been pretty good but the only direct flight to Italy and back is a "low-cost" which is not low-cost at all airline that gives me Ryanair vibes. (Booking has endless options and attempts to gouge more cash out of you. And 70 Euros each way for a 20k bag!) It is WIZZ. Have any of you used them?

LindsD Oct 2021 9:30am, 22 Oct 2021 50,307 posts	0 LindsD Wizz have been around for a while. Not used them but know people who have. Just a typical budget airline
Badger Oct 2021 10:00am, 22 Oct 2021 14,271 posts	0 Badger I have, to get to Gdansk (no, autocorrect, not Hannah), they were fine as these things go, one of my friends uses them for choice when he can. Though that's partly the beer being relatively cheap.
ITG 🇮🇸 Oct 2021 10:50am, 22 Oct 2021 13,676 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 Thanks Linds and Badge. That is reassuring. good to know they are not a new company. Our kids went with them to Poland 2 years ago on an orchestra trip (cost a bloody fortune) but everything feels a bit shoogly these days. And after two and a half years without seeing OH's parents, brother and family, I daren't believe we might actually be able to go. (Put those onions away now, folks.) Apropos of nothing: great new coffee machine at work. This will not end well.

The race is still going ahead, the course change doesn't matter and I need someone to kick me in the arse and tell me what a twit I'm being.
