Low Cost Airlines to Anywhere
Shop and save by traveling with a low cost airline ticket on Flights.com to anywhere in the world.
Low cost carriers (LCCs) offer some fantastic deals mainly because these airlines structure
themselves where price is
king. Traditional passenger amenities such as meals, pillows, and blankets are widely eliminated. The concept of
these "no frills" flights originated in the United States and later spread to the UK and all of Europe. Today, these discount carriers
can be found worldwide. The service consists mainly of a single class of service booked with a simple fare structure where
an employee often serves multiple roles. For example, a gate agent may also be a flight attendant.
Point to point travel and avoidance of larger hubs are the norm to avoid delays in turnaround time.
Low Cost Airlines rely on direct ticket sales to further reduce the supply chain.
While most LCCs are successful in the beginning, the concept is somewhat flawed once the
airline fleet reaches a certain age. Over time,
wages increase and costly maintenance of the aging fleet
is required. Furthermore, larger competitors often step in when a route proves profitable. Larger carriers have even
sold seat inventory well below the no frills airlines price simply to push the competitor out of that market.
