Six Top Airlines to Travel with in 2022-2023
Fly comfortably and feel secure to reach your destination with peace of mind.

From August to October, my mother and I decided to embark on an adventure together and fly to Europe. With no plan or to which countries we would visit, we booked flights from Ottawa, Canada, to Warsaw, Poland, with a return after 1.5 months.
Naturally, neither of us knew how this experience would affect us, and it was crucial that regardless of where we ended up, what matters is that we had comfortable flights that got us to our destination safely with little to no complications.
I do not want to say that it is the reason, but our positive experience with the airlines we chose brought us closer together and created a more vital relationship filled with trust and patience.
1. West Jet
We flew with West Jet twice during our Travels. The first time was from Ottawa to Toronto, and the second was when we finally came home from Toronto to Ottawa. The planes are small, but they don't need to be huge given the time we flew (1 hour). It was quick and efficient, with no stress, and the staff on board were kind and generous, offering us water and pretzels. We used FlightHub to book the flights, but you can also use Booking.com.

2. Condor
Oh, Condor, if it wasn't for your efficient organization skills to recover from a failure, it could have potentially been a lousy rating. A relatively new airline, which my Mother and I were pleasantly surprised by their kindness and ability to fix a mistake they created. We booked connection flights with Flight Hub with a long enough delay in Frankfurt to have time to catch our flight to Poland. Unluckily, the airline decided to change the flight time last minute, giving us only 1.5 hours to catch our next flight. We still had to pick up our luggage, recheck it, and go through security. We did not make it. Although, the lady at the Condor information desk in Germany was kind and rebooked us another flight two hours later free of charge. She also gave us two 20 Euro vouchers to enjoy a meal together. You can book Condor flights through Booking.com or Omnio

3. Wiz air
Not a terrible airline, but If I can avoid it, I will. The planes are relatively small and a bit old. They have strict rules on carry-on luggage that almost created a dilemma for my mother's oversized carry-on. Her carry-on isn't huge, standard small luggage, though it almost did not pass the sizing regulation. Although, the flight from Warsaw to Norway was inexpensive, quick, and easy if you are flying a short distance. The staff is kind, and the plane is clean. This airline was booked using MyTrip.

4. Norwegian
Using Booking.com, I booked a flight from Oslo to Rome with Norweigan Airlines. One of the best airlines to use. They have a simple online check-in system at the airport that allows you to scan and check in your baggage. This new tech feature is beneficial if you wish to cut long check-in lines and make your next flight. We flew for two hours comfortably.

5. Vueling
I have never used this airline before. I found them on Booking.com, and I was pleased they had an app where I could download my flight information securely to my Ipad. It made things easy when cutting long check-in lines in Rome and helped us pass through security in no time. We flew from Rome to Dubrovnik in less than two hours.

6. Lot
Lot is probably my favourite airline to fly within Europe. Of course, I am a bit biased as it is a Polish Airline, though they are quick, efficient and clean. The airlines are small, but they offer a reasonably high weight limit for check-in luggage, up to 25kg. Thus, this relieved my mother and me as we knew that the gifts and souvenirs we were bringing home would add some weight. We flew from Dubrovnik to Warsaw and enjoyed our last few days in Europe before heading home.
