Low Cost Airline - Low Cost Flight : virgin
express
virgin express operates within continental Europe, and flights
can be booked as one way or return trips with fares priced
as single segment one way trips. Their website allows
you to change flight details, including departure and
destination, time and date of travel, seat allocation
and extra leg room, passenger name (Euro 50 charge),
after you have purchased. Virgin Express does not offer
a connecting service. Each booking attracts a 10 Euro
booking fee, so booking legs separately will cost that
much more than booking both legs of a return trip. Their
website has links to extra services such as to car hire
partners holidayautos. Prices tend to be lower than main
airlines but higher than Ryan air when booked 2 to 3
weeks in advance but can be as high or higher than main
airlines only a week before travel (SN Brussels can be
cheaper at these times). Food, drink and gifts can be
purchased on board.
Virgin Express has one hub at the main Brussels
Zaventum airport, with a mini-hub at Rome where they
fly to both Amsterdam and Brussels. Their main destinations
are in Spain, with the rest to France, Italy, Holland,
Greece and Switzerland.
Like easyJet, Virgin Express operates out
of principal airports.
