Air Berlin - how do they do it?
Just flown Air Berlin from Dusseldorf to Stansted, and it was great. More legroom than usual, food and drinks for free, clean cabin and a generally nice overall trip. Much more than I expected from a low-cost carrier.
Recently I've flown Jet2, Ryanair, SkyEurope, Air Baltic, Estonian Air, SAS and Air Berlin beats them all. It even beat my Lufthansa flight to Franfurt. Compared to the traditional LC, they go the extra mile. One of the best airlines I've flown.
So how can they do this and make money?
