Besides India, I have had some of my worst trips inside the EU; particularly with Vueling (although Ryanair is a close second). In a lot of Vueling seats I do not physically fit and the staff just does not actually care. If I avoid Vueling and Ryanair, it is generally comfortable, but compared to a lot of Asia (outside India and probably more but I would not know) it’s pretty poor.

They don't care because Vueling and Ryanair are budget airlines, who optimize for the lowest cost - that is, you save money by being uncomfortable.

There are other budget airlines like Easyjet and Norwegian and they do care.
