What are low cost airlines?

What's happened low-cost airlines or low-cost carriers? These are companies that save on services to their passengers, save on advertising and often do not conclude contracts with ticket sellers and other intermediaries. In flights by such companies, food is limited, if not completely absent. Airport service is also limited. However, there is a plus. Great advantage. The prices for air tickets from these companies are significantly cheaper than from conventional ones. However, when searching for air tickets, all the first places in search engines are usually occupied by either large airlines or large air ticket sellers, which may not have contracts with cheap airlines, which means that such companies are difficult to find using search tools. However, just because an airline sells cheap tickets doesn't mean it has rusty and old planes, suspicious fellow travelers, and stale food. Low-cost airlines specifically purchase new aircraft, which are cheaper to maintain than older aircraft, and at the same time are more comfortable. So why would you overpay for meals and drinks when the flight, for example, lasts only a few hours? I advise you to buy tickets for such low-cost airlines by going to their website from our catalog of low-cost low-cost airlines, or by looking at their seasonal special offers.

Sometimes it happens that major airlines make a discount on flights in the direction you need. Our search takes this into account. Therefore, it is also recommended to use the air ticket search form on our website. It takes into account the prices of low-cost airlines, special promotions, and seasonal discounts of regular and major airlines.

Budget airlines in Europe (low cost), the so-called low-cost airlines, capture the airspace every year more and more actively, and for us, passengers, this is a huge plus! The work of such airlines is aimed at transporting people for relatively little money.

The best choice for flights is low-cost airlines in Europe.

But the question may arise due to what budget airlines allow themselves to set prices for air tickets 1.5 or even 2 times lower than most airlines? The answer lies not in one point, because such a significant reduction in the price of a ticket is formed due to a different solution to a number of issues. Having considered them, it will become clear not only the factors that help to reduce the price of air tickets (thereby making air travel accessible to almost everyone), but it will also be possible to disassemble the principle of operation and the main features of flights with budget airlines.

The main features of budget airlines in Europe include the following:

You can buy a ticket for a flight of a low-cost airline only via the Internet. And this is their main savings, which is directly reflected in the ticket price. After all, they do not have to pay office rent, staff salaries, etc.

The second point of savings is the lack of food on the plane, that is, it is not included in the ticket price, but if you wish and for a fee, you can buy food in the cabin or take it with you. But it is worth remembering that the carriage of any liquids in hand luggage is prohibited!

Further, it is worth noting that low-cost airlines opt for new aircraft of the same company, since they consume less fuel and need repairs many times less, and they also need fewer maintenance specialists.

Another important point is the presence of only one passenger class.

Part of the money is also saved by the absence of stereo and video systems in the planes of low-cost airlines.

There are also savings on the operating personnel, as the personnel in the cabin perform more work than usual. For example, the duties of a flight attendant, in addition to directly serving passengers, also include cleaning the cabin.

Most often, low-cost flights are operated from airports that are located far from the city.

Usually such flights are carried out at night or in the morning.

Budget airlines operate only direct flights.

There are a number of other features regarding air travel with budget airlines (discounters). Although the price of a ticket differs significantly from the cost of flying with conventional airlines, even in this case it can be higher or lower, but it all depends on how much before the expected date of departure you purchased the ticket. After all, the earlier you buy a ticket, the cheaper it will be, since as the aircraft cabin fills up, airfare prices increase. And as for the return of tickets, it is carried out only in case of cancellation of the flight. Among the disadvantages of low-cost flights, one can note frequent delays and cancellations of flights, the lack of additional services and services at airports, possible severe restrictions on the weight of luggage, and for exceeding it there is a need to pay a substantial amount. But, despite all this, budget airlines are very popular and allow many people to fly for pleasure without spending half their salary on a ticket.

Today, there are more than 150 low-cost airlines around the world. In foreign countries, the development of the low cost system is happening at a faster pace than in Russia. And despite the many obvious advantages of such companies, Russia cannot boast of such rapid development. Since 2007, in addition to foreign ones, two domestic low-cost airlines Avianova and Sky Express have been engaged in air transportation in Russia. But in 2011, they closed almost overnight (October), unable to withstand the competition and accumulating a lot of debt.

Today, for example, among low-cost airlines from St. Petersburg, the following low-cost airlines can be noted:
