Low-cost carriers are budget airlines that offer flights at a low price, but with a limited number of services for passengers.
Important features of some low -cost airlines:
- A single class of service (no business class).
- The fewer places left for the flight, the higher the price.
- Often fly from less popular and remote airports.
- Point-to-point flights mostly - they do not offer connected flights, separate ticket is issued per each flight segment.
- Food and drinks on board for an additional fee.
- There may be no free baggage allowance.
- Stricter policy and control of the dimensions of hand luggage. Additionally, low-cost carriers often have different baggage size and weight rules for cabin bags than standard airlines.
- High cost when paying for baggage at the airport.
To avoid unexpected fees, make sure you understand the baggage allowance policy and any additional fees that may apply.
