Why are budget airlines constantly delayed and canceling flights, when main airlines usually takeoff as scheduled?
In: Other
In addition to what the others said about tight schedule: sometimes you don’t get a trip from A to B, you get a number of separate flights from one airport to the other, where it might happen that in order to reach B you booked multiple flights. These flights are not connected.
A big carrier brings you from A to B, no matter the route. If something doesn’t work on one flight, they might get you on another flight.
If the low cost carrier is delayed or cancels a flight, and you don’t get your connection, that’s suddenly (or not so suddenly) your problem. You just get your money back, and have to deal with full planes and unavailable tickets.
That’s how Ryanair operates here, and that’s how our booking system forbids Ryanair flights by default. No one wants the hassle of dealing with a stranded passenger somewhere.
