Site Scramble: SkyEurope

August 17, 2006 at 1:49 PM | 0 Comments

The differences between European LCCs can be quite drastic. To be fair, most try to follow the swish JetBlue model, not the frenzied Crazy Eddie experience that Ryanair offers. One of our favorites from the former category is Central European carrier SkyEurope.

The site is made up of soothing blue and white tones--high-impact sales is not the traditional way of operating in that part of the world--clearly displaying where the airline flies with a simple flash map on the front door. Fares on sale are also on the front door, making this close to the simplest interface we've encountered thus far.

Searching for fares is a little bit more difficult, although they do display dates surrounding those you're considering, if you want to burrow for added value. We wish taxes were displayed with the price of each leg, though, not after you've selected them. In the cool toys area, there is the option to send your itinerary via SMS to your phone. We're not sure if it's useful--we just said it was cool.

Between the leather seats we see pictured in the cabin and the lovely flight attendants, think of this as JetBlue's chic cousin from Budapest.
