The worst budget airline is that Spanish one whose name I can't recall.

Vueling?

Well good to know. I think at some point I had looked at taking them.

Aren't they all pretty much the same? I haven't actually tried any of them yet though (almost flew with EasyJet but the flight was cancelled due to a blizzard), except Norwegian but I think that's a high class budget company.

Not in my experience, there's different at least two levels of service. And yeah Norwegian is on the nicer side.

I've used Vueling several times and never had a problem with them. Then again they seem to have run into troubles this summer with plenty of cancelled flights and stranded people.

When I flew with them in summer the flight was an hour late. Some grand screw up where ten of us somehow weren't registered in the system.  Luckily we were still able to fly but it was just bizzare.  Very unprofessional.
Their website too.... it doesn't seem very official

If you're paying a buck fifty for a round trip ticket you really can't bitch all that much.

That's just about every flight I've had on Lufthansa. :pinch: -_-

Depends, if you're stranded somewhere and can't get hold of anyone because the hotline is severely understaffed then it's probably okay to complain.
