A new one this week as I’m flying with Vueling Airlines on a short European hop to see what the low-cost carrier experience is really like in 2026.From a quiet early-morning shuttle between Gatwick’s terminals, to a surprisingly premium-feeling lounge experience, and finally onboard one of Vueling’s Airbus aircraft, this journey delivered more than I expected — and a few things I definitely didn’t.With yellow leather headrests, USB charging, Wi-Fi, and a cabin that feels more considered than most budget airlines, this flight raises an interesting question: has Vueling quietly cracked the low-cost formula?
Route: London Gatwick (LGW)
Paris-Orly (ORY)
Aircraft: Airbus A320-200 (EC-MFM)
Cabin: Economy
Flight Time: 56 minutes
Cost: £167.88 (one-way cash ticket)
