When flying discount airlines in Europe (Easyjet, Ryanair, etc.) I recommend paying the few dollars extra for speedy or priority boarding options.

I did this for my flight from Paris to Nice on Easyjet and it was a lifesaver. There was a dedicated check-in with no line……and a miserable zigzag of 100 jealous people giving me the evil eye right next door.

We were the first to board the plane…..so this helped with securing storage space on the plane and making sure we did not get bumped off an oversold flight once all the seats were taken.

The picture above is of Paris from the plane….look closely and you can see the Eiffel Tower!
