Planning on our post trip ideas after the RS Germany/Switz/Austria tour, we are thinking of spending a few days at Sorrento via Naples. I found two budget airlines - Air Berlin and Lauda Air. Don't know anything about them. We took Easy Jet in our previous trip. Any comments on these two choices or other option?
Mike, my buddy who lives in Germany loves flying on Air Berlin. Actually all of the lo-cost inter EU airlines are great (well maybe not Alitalia) Watch the luggage size and weight restrictions. Understand that they all only allow one carry -on; not a purse and bag...one item only. We use Whichbudget.com to find all of the lo-cost inter EU arilines.
I don't fly so take this with a rock of salt. Both have a good reputation, especially Air Berlin. Niki Lauda's airline had a very good one but somehow I seem to remember that he had some financial problems with it a year or so ago. I'm not even sure if he is still involved with it... anyway, if it were me I'd take either in a heartbeat if I needed to fly somewhere.
