GOOD FIT IF

- You travel light and don't need flexible changes — their model assumes fee-based extras
- their core markets is where their schedule density is highest
THINK TWICE IF
- You're tall or on a long sector — seat comfort is among the weakest themes in forum feedback
- Carry-on crackdowns and fee surprises get repeated mentions — budget beyond the base fare
- Fees for bags, seats, and airport check-in stack quickly on ULCC fares
- Customer service is mostly digital — airport rebooking help is limited
- You're connecting through a non-hub city — missed connections aren't protected
