Hi guys...

This might seam a ridiculous question, but I am wondering if anyone has a list of all the budget carriers that fly out of these two airports?

EasyJet, Air Berlin, and German Wings are three of them!

Easy Jet is out of Basel

However, you can often get better deals to London at least with BA and Swiss, especially when you consider getting to London from Luton or Stansted.

Out to anywhere in particular? Or is it a general question showing a lack of will to do the legwork (like, say, logging on the airport's webpage)?

Re: Budget airlines from Zurich and/or Basel

Well specifically at the moment it's looking at flights to either Budapest, Prague or Stockholm.

But generally I don't know the budget carriers in Europe well other than EasyJet and Ryan Air so a list of websites to troll through is what I'm trying to get!

Try Skyscanner, it gives you routes as well as availability and pricing for most of the budget carriers. For the non budget airlines try expedia.ch or opodo.

Re: Budget airlines from Zurich and/or Basel

Last week someone mentioned the website kayak.com, which will search through a load of different airlines for your flights, and not just the bigger ones such as BA, Swiss, etc, but when ever I look for Zurich to London SleazyJet also appear on there.
