Terms & Conditions of our Spring Raffle

There is nothing quite like being on holiday, is there? The excitement of exploring new sights. The thrill of trying new cuisines. The pleasure of meeting new people. But there is sometimes one unwelcomed feeling - a dreaded hangover. Yes, a night of revelry can sometimes leave you feeling less than enthusiastic the following morning.

Whether in a bustling metropolis where the party never stops or a more quaint town with authentic bars, a hangover can creep in when you least expect it.

But when should we expect it? Well, there are some factors that can make a hangover worse, such as how much you drink, what you drink, and not being hydrated enough.

That’s why we have found out the European cities where you’re most likely to experience a hangover, analysing factors such as the altitude, alcohol percentage of the national drink, the likelihood of consuming very salty foods, and how cheap the drinks are.

The Worst European Cities For Getting A Hangover

Cities Most Likely To Get Hangover

Most likely to get a hangover: Iași, Romania & Sofia, Bulgaria

Sharing the gold medal for the European cities in which you’re most likely to suffer a hangover is Iași in Romania and Sofia in Bulgaria.

The third largest city in Romania, Iași is known as the country’s Cultural Capital and is home to Romania's oldest and most prestigious university, and over 60,000 students.  As a result, the city offers plenty of restaurants, bars, cinemas, and theaters. Beware when enjoying Romania’s national drink when in the city though, as Țuică can be as high as 55% alcohol! You can also pick up pretty cheap beers when in Iași, with an average price of €1.63, so you could end up drinking quite a few without breaking the bank. 

Bulgaria’s capital is also somewhere where you want to consider how much you’re drinking, particularly because of Sofia’s high altitude, which is a lofty 555m above sea level. If you’re keen to avoid a hangover here too, you should refrain from getting swept up drinking with locals, with the average Bulgarian getting through 12.65 liters of alcohol per year. Sofia is a laid back capital that has a youthful feel with an array of bars, restaurants, and nightclubs - not to mention the ski slopes that are but a short drive away.

Least likely to get a hangover: Malmö, Sweden

Scoring the lowest in the study, and therefore being the European city that you’re least likely to get a hangover in, is Malmö. Why? Well, you’re likely to consume less salt when eating here than you would in cities outside of Sweden. Swedes consume an average of 7g of salt per day, the lowest amount of any in our study, which indicates that the local food is likely to be lower in salt than that of elsewhere. You’re also less likely to suffer a hangover here considering that it’s one of the more expensive places to buy a beer, with the average pint being around €6.86. 

Cities with the cheapest local beer: Osijek & Rijeka, Croatia 

Costing just an average of €0.52 for a pint, Osijek and Rijeka are the cheapest cities for a beer. The Croatian cities, and Croatia in general, are renowned for how cheap their local beer is, with Ožujsko and Karlovačko often being on offer. With both beers being above 5% and incredibly cheap, you might expect a hangover in the morning! Fun fact: Osijek was the 1697 birth place of Croatia’s first ever brewed beer, Osječko. 

City at the highest altitude: Madrid, Spain

The city at the highest altitude is Spain’s capital city, Madrid, which sits at a lofty height of 651m above sea level. Altitude dehydrates you and being low on water can causes hangover symptoms. Whilst it’s not counted as ‘high altitude’ as such, it is likely to be at a higher altutdue that you’re used to so this could have some effect on how you feel the next morning after an evening of enjoying Madrid’s nightlife.

City with the highest humidity percentage: Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Again, low humidity is another culprit for dehydration, which can make hangovers worse - and you’re most likely to feel it in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, with an average humidity of 58%. Whilst high humidity can make you sweat a lot, low humidity and dry air can cause your skin to dry out and cause dehydration, which will make any hangover feel a lot worse. Fun fact: Plovdiv is considered to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe and one of the oldest in the world. 

Country with the highest average salt consumption: Belarus

Another thing that can cause dehydration, and therefore worsen hangovers, is eating too much salt the night before. You’re most likely to do this eating the local food in Belarus, considering that the average person consumes 12g of salt a day. This is exactly double the recommended amount per adult so maybe lay off too much Draniki - the Belarus National Dish of potato fritter.

Country that consumes the most alcohol per capita: Czechia

The cause of a terrible hangover is often from drinking too much so if you’re easily influenced, beware when visiting Czechia. Czechs, on average, drink 14.45 liters of pure alcohol each year, which the highest of any European country and pretty much the world, drinking only less then the Seychelles and Uganda. In 2021, the country consumed 129 liters of beer per capita. 

Country with the national drink that contains the highest percentage of alcohol: Switzerland

Speaking of pure alcohol… when we visit new places, we of course like to sample their local beverages, but the higher the alcohol percentage, the worse the hangover typically is. Therefore, you could end up with a sore head when drinking in Switzerland with their national anise-flavored spirit, Absinthe. The product was only made legal again in 2005 after a 95-year ban due to it containing as much as 74% alcohol in some instances. 

To find out which European cities you’re most likely to get a hangover, we first took a list of the biggest towns on the continent before analyzing each for the following data points: 

Average national salt consumption per person per day

Average amount of alcohol consumed per capita per year (liters)

Alcohol percentage of the country’s national drink

Cities, where a full dataset was not available, were omitted from the study.

Sources include the Statista, World Data Bank, and Harvard School of Public Health.

A full data set is available upon request.

The European Cities Where You’re Most Likely To Get A Hangover

Our most flown routes also have something to say about German rail

Flyla is growing, like a soaring airplane in the sky. In May 2023, we witnessed an impressive fourfold increase in bookings compared to December 2022. One of the reasons for this surge is the fact that more than a third of our bookings come from loyal customers who appreciate the value Flyla provides.

We're aware of the environmental implications of flying so we do our best to operate as carbon-consciously as possible; suggesting to airlines to discount the leftover seats, that would otherwise go unused, and automatically carbon compensating every flight. 

Having said that there may be a reason that our most travelled routes are booked so often. What are those routes?

Berlin (BER) – Cologne/Bonn (CGN)
Hamburg (HAM) – Stuttgart (STR)
Dusseldorf (DUS) – Munich (MUC)

Flyla has emerged as the preferred platform for students seeking to streamline their journeys across Germany. Let's delve into the reasons behind this trend:

Student flight fares come with a range of benefits, depending on the airline. In the case of our partner, Eurowings, they offer flexible rebooking options until the day of departure. This means that if a last-minute change arises, students can easily contact our service team to request a date change.

While last year witnessed strikes among plane personnel, this year it's the rail industry that has faced disruptions. During rail strikes, the image of train travel suffers, leaving passengers stranded at stations and enduring overcrowded trains. Moreover, it seems that train delays have worsened since the onset of the pandemic. Comparing a 6-hour train journey from Hamburg to Stuttgart, which is likely to be delayed, to a 1-hour flight, it's understandable why many people find air travel more desirable.

The €49 ticket now means that everywhere in Germany the transport to and from the airport is included in the ticket.  This means that the ticket price covers the entire journey, without any additional expenses. Let's compare Flyla.com student prices with Deutsche Bahn:

Berlin (BER) – Cologne/Bonn (CGN): €75 on Flyla vs €143 with Deutsche Bahn
Hamburg (HAM) – Stuttgart (STR): €75 on Flyla vs €173 with Deutsche Bahn
Dusseldorf (DUS) – Munich (MUC): €90 on Flyla vs €175 with Deutsche Bahn

Flyla provides an opportunity to travel affordably, enjoy flexibility, and experience reliable and comfortable journeys. Join the Flyla community today and embark on unforgettable adventures.

Flyla – Your flight, your way: Fast, Flexible, and Carbon-Conscious Travel (for Students and Others) 

Introducing Flyla's Enhanced Customer Support: Your Gateway to Seamless Student Flights

The iceberg: 7/8 of our exclusive inventory could not be found, until today.

Flyla, at the forefront of the latest developments in student flight fares, continues to expand its roster of partnerships with major airlines. Each collaboration brings its own set of benefits, catering to the diverse needs of student travelers. From Lufthansa's transatlantic offerings to ITA's Europe-Wide last-minute discounts, Flyla is committed to revolutionising the student flight experience by providing transparent and accessible options. In this blog post, we are excited to announce our latest update: Advanced search. With three new filters – Checked Baggage Included, Direct Flight and 26 or older – we aim to streamline the flight selection process and empower students with more control over their flight plans.

We have included the Checked Baggage filter right beneath our search bar for students who prefer the convenience of travelling with checked baggage. This filter allows students to specifically search for flights that include the option of checked baggage. By selecting this filter, you can easily find airlines that make checked baggage part of their student benefits. 

Airlines where – generally speaking – you will only get student fares associated with checked baggage are KLM, Air France, Turkish Airlines, Air Malta, China Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Icelandair. Check the conditions on the flight itself before booking.

This small but complex change to our site allows you to uncover many more deals from the KLM flight via Amsterdam to South America where you save €20 - €50 to the Air Malta flight to ... you guessed it ... Malta. 

It's worth playing around with this filter as in some cases you may even save money when you book luggage.

We understand that convenience and efficiency are paramount when it comes to student travel. That's why we have introduced the Direct filter to our advanced search options. By selecting this filter, students can easily find flights that eliminate layovers and connect them directly to their destination.

Our customers love our new partners and the expanded offer portfolio. A lot of them would however happily pay €10 - €30 extra to not have to take a stopover flight. And because many of our new partnerships allow very cheap stopover flights this additional option was a relevant one.

Many student fares come with age restrictions. In some cases that restriction is 35 in Luxair's case it's 24 years. As several of our partners have chosen 25 years as the cutoff we've made it easier for you to search for flights if you're above that certain age. For anyone below that age, just leave it unchecked and you'll get visibility of the full inventory offered exclusively on Flyla.com

All our deals for the next two weeks in one place

Almost every airline has a student programme dating back a couple of decades or more. But only 1 in 20 students know that student flights exist. So the only way we can drastically increase familiarity and awareness is by being as transparent as possible.

We knew we couldn't onboard every airline at once and that it would take time to explain the huge upsides launching student flights have to airlines, particularly on routes that are competing not just with other airlines but other modes of transport. So while pursuing integrations with all the airlines and negotiating student fares we also offered non-student flights. For our customers to understand which were and which weren't student flights we simply included a label:

We repeatedly got told that it was unclear if students were saving at all and how much they were saving. So we rebuilt our requests to handle not one set of flight details which automatically would just filter the top flight sorted by price to the top but to separate sets of flight details: one set containing student flights, the other containing non-student flights, and our system would compare the prices. If the non-student flight is more expensive (which it usually is) we now show it on the search results page as a strikethrough price.

Armed with our ability to tell the student exactly how much they are saving we set out to show the student all routes and days on which they are saving the most which tend to be the two weeks before take-off. We built a colour-coded Deals Calendar to give our customers an overview of what dates those flights are still available and where to. As every airline operates with slightly different rules, e.g. flexible rebooking and varied age restrictions, our first version is displaying Deals airline by airline.

Dozens of customers have already used this function all the way to a completed booking and we're hoping that while we improve it even more we're adding transparency to this opaque world of student flights.

Why we launched Deals Calendar
