so we are shopping for inter europe flights for next year and i read a little about this airline. we are looking at prague to rome flights and they have one for 85usd, when the ones on expedia and other sights are like 383/pp. Is this for real? What are the downsides? Will my flight be canceled while im there and I wont know it? or are they pretty accomodating and will help find another? Really trying to save cash, but dont want to risk it ruingin our trip. Please offer opinions

Yes, it's for real. Sites like expedia have budget european budget airlines such as Sky Europe, RyanAir, EasyJet, etc..

Those airlines that expedia DOES list for inter-european travel are generally major airlines, which will almost always be more expensive than a budget airline. Think American Airlines compared to, say, JetBlue.

I've used these type of airlines in the past, never had a problem (no more of a problem than any other airline in the world anyway!) No frills, don't expect a meal or even a beverage service if memory serves me correctly...but who cares about that?

Book it, enjoy!

SkyEurope is a pretty good low cost airline. In the winter, they have a lot of tickets for only 20 euros (or less!). It is based in Slovakia.

We flew Sky Europe from Rome to Krakow. We took off from Rome and as soon as the seat belt sign went off, EVERYONE except for us stood up and started walking around. It was very strange. The flight left Rome a little late, but we got to Krakow pretty much ontime. We would fly on them again.

You aren't going to find them on sites such as Expedia just as you don't find Southwest on such places.
