Some things to consider.....
Picked up and dropped off vs driving round a car park looking for a spot(summer or winter)and waiting for a bus/walking to the crew room
Being handed a menu and asked what you want to eat vs being given a brown bag with a mars bar and sandwich in it/running to boots for the meal deal.
Ironing shirts vs being given a freshly laundered shirt
First class suit on staff travel vs an economy seat
Working 5 days on the trot vs 1 out, 1 back with a day off in between
The choice of whatever is in the first class galley vs a tea or coffee(Nescafé’s brown dirt with sort of warm water)
All I’m saying is low cost short haul is a different beast to EK life. If you haven’t experienced it before it will be a shock. If you’ve done it before then you know what you’re getting.
