I expect most here are not experienced with US carriers. You're not missing anything, believe me. US carriers are the absolute worst, without peer. I've been on coast to coast flights in the US without entertainment. Considering America is so consumed with pop culture, the idea must seem unbelieveable to most Europeans. Can you imagine 250 Americans spending a full seven hours in the air without news of Paris Hilton or Britney? Unthinkable! Thankfully, I'm an expat and enjoy the comfort KLM on most flights. KLM economy is a real joy for me. An added benefit of my frequent use of red-eye flights is that I can quaff a couple glasses of wine and sleep through the flight. And on KLM, the wine is free. Delta charges for a glass of wine on international flights! Four hours is not a long flight to suffer without a meal or entertainment – for an American.

We don't include the extra cost its going to be from that airport to the city centre. Where airlines like BA will fly nearer to the city centre, the airport transfer cost will be cheaper but we do not factor this in. @ Anna

I will not fly them if I can help it. If you add all the extra fees they charge and the cost of getting to whatever dumpy airport they are flying to/from, then the total price is closer to what the big guys charge for their tickets anyway. I also refuse to fly Air France, Aeroflot, and Wizzair. And American Airlines. Add me to the bunch of Ryanair haters. I will not fly them if I can help it.
