A low-cost flight is also known as a no-frills discounted or budget flight that offers low fares to eliminate some traditional services. Many travellers are hesitant to travel in budget airlines even the prices are low, because of the poor service or the safety issues. However, most airlines offer a decent service and are upto required quality standards.
Budget flights reduce their prices by operating a single aircraft type, which minimises staff training and maintenance costs. To make up for the revenue lost with reduced ticket prices, they charge for the “extras”, for the services the passenger purchase, such as baggage, assigned seats and meals.
