What do you know about this airline? They appear to be like easyjet or Ryanair, but headquartered in Cologne?

Any experience with them?

No experience here, Bill, but when I typed a search in the Find box for germanwings, I found this ST member who was very pleased with Germanwings.

Last year, I took a flight from London Gatwick to Zagreb on Wizzair, another small, low-cost carrier, and was extremely pleased with it.

Hoping for more responses for you.

Thanks, Terry.

I have decided to use the DB express bus as our transportation when we leave Prague.

I was confusing myself about ticket prices on the bus and I thought that a discount airline might be a good alternative. A flight from Prague to Cologne is pretty reasonable for air travel but you have to deal with baggage charges..... seems to be about $42 to check a carry on size bag and you are required to check everything except very small, very light pieces.

We have flown with germanwings and have found them to be fine. Be sure to pack light since they will charge extra for extra weight.

They are a budget airline that will take you from point A to point B without frills.

Flew them, agree w/ Laurie.

Bill,

choose them. There are not Lufthansa but much better compared to Ryanair.

Flew them from Stuttgart to Split, about the same as Southwest, better than Ryan. If the fare is good, go for it.
