Ryanair — the king of budget flights


Ryanair is a true symbol of cheap air travel. The Irish company has the largest network of destinations in the EU, covering hundreds of cities — from popular tourist centers to lesser-known regions. Ryanair often runs promotions with tickets starting at €5–10, and during the discount season, prices can drop even further.


It is important to book in advance and not choose additional services such as baggage, seat selection, or priority boarding, as these significantly increase the total cost.


By the way, you can conveniently find and book tickets for Ryanair flights (and others) through the Visit Ukraine system, which combines offers from various carriers across Europe. This helps you quickly compare prices and find the best option for your desired dates.


Wizz Air — the best choice for Eastern Europe


Wizz Air is especially convenient for Ukrainians, as it flies from many cities in Poland, Hungary, Germany, and other countries that are easily accessible by ground transportation. The company offers attractive fares and has its own Wizz Discount Club program, which provides discounts on tickets, baggage, and even related services.


This is an ideal option for those who plan to travel around Europe on a minimal budget but do not want to sacrifice comfort. It is also a great way to plan a “Eurotour” by combining cheap flights between neighboring countries.


easyJet — comfortable travel in Western Europe


British low-cost airline easyJet is one of the most popular in Western Europe. It has an extensive route network covering the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland. A distinctive feature of easyJet is that most flights arrive at central airports, which significantly saves time and transfer costs.


If you are traveling around Europe by train or bus, we recommend comparing prices and travel times. Through the Visit Ukraine booking system, you can book not only airline tickets, but also tickets for all types of transport — this is convenient when you are planning combined routes or a “city-by-city” trip.
