We flew through Manchester on easyJet and Ryanair to compare the standards of the budget airlines
05.11.2023 - 13:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The unmistakeable orange and blue liveries of easyJet and Ryanair are ten a penny at Manchester Airport. The budget airlines have much in common, and are the favoured choices of many holidaymakers looking for a getaway.
Here reporter Amy Fenton writes of her experience using the airport during a half-term family holiday.
In my life, I've been lucky enough to go on dozens of flights ranging from British Airways business class to the likes of the now defunct budget airline Monarch, Lancs Live reports. I've been fortunate enough to fly, and go on holiday, to some of the most remote and luxurious parts of the world such as Hawaii, Cape Verde and Mexico.

I've also been on countless short-haul flights where it can often feel as if you're about to land as soon as the plane's wheels have left the runway. But being treated like royalty in business class is a rarity for the vast majority of us and when we set off on a family holiday it's far more likely that we'll fly with a budget airline such as easyJet or Ryanair.
The runways at Manchester Airport are dominated by their unmistakeable orange and blue liveries which have become part and parcel of a trip abroad. Budget airlines like easyJet and Ryanair have much in common.
Gone are the days when families are automatically seated together; now you have to pay extra to pick your seats and it's seemingly a luxury to want to take a suitcase on holiday with some airlines charging as much as £70 for the privilege. One of my earliest flying memories is when I was invited into the cockpit, mid-air en route to America, when I was around six.
