The Pros and Cons of Flying on Budget Airlines

news

We’ve come a long way since the height of the COVID pandemic when airfare was hitting all-time lows. In 2024, airline tickets are skyrocketing, with the consumer price index for tickets up by 25 percent, CNBC reported. In light of this, many of us are looking for ways to cut costs with travel, including seeking out low-cost airlines. These carriers offer cheaper fares, but there are a few trade-offs. Read on to learn more about the pros and cons of flying on budget airlines. If you use an app or Google Flights to check for the best fares, odds are some of the bigger U.S. budget airlines have popped up for you. Familiar low-cost carriers include Frontier Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Allegiant Air, Breeze Airways, and Avelo Airlines. Southwest Airlines and JetBlue are also low-cost carriers, although they are considered to be on the “higher-end” of the bunch. Unlike ultra-low-cost carriers, Southwest offers free checked baggage and first-come, first-served seating. JetBlue is now more of a “hybrid” carrier, offering low fares with different amenities, like in-flight entertainment and WiFi.
