Intersky: Vienna to Elba Island

The carrier: Intersky

About

Our pick for best budget airline with a fun, hipster vibe is a smallish enterprise, based in Friedrichshafen. Intersky flies from its Friedrichshafen hub to several cities across western Europe. The airline also operates a handful of routes beyond its hub. Notable destinations include Elba, Zadar, Naples and Nice.

Upside

Quirky (and growing) route map includes some unusual destinations.

Downside

Limited route map and strangely located hub.

Baggage

* Carry-on: One piece of hand luggage not to exceed 5 kg.
* Checked: Up to 15 kg of luggage. You are charged €5 per kg over the weight limit.

* Please visit Intersky’s website for more information on its baggage policy.

Seating

Seats are reserved on a first-come first-serve basis during check-in.  It is possible to reserve seats in advance for €5. 

Check-in and Ticketing

For international flights, check in is from 2 hours to 45 minutes prior to the flight.  Then the gate is closed and no more passengers will be admitted.  If you are late there is no refund or compensation for your ticket.

Tip

If you skip breakfast while trekking to the airport, never fear. Intersky has one of the more extensive, reasonably priced—and at turns, witty—in-flight menus we've seen. Check out "After Work Party". That's what we're talkin' about!
