Low-cost carriers have revolutionised travel, and flights are now easier to book and more affordable than ever. But securing a steal on your air fare is just half the battle won.
Try out these five tips the next time you’re booking a low-cost flight, and you may be surprised by how much more value you can get on a budget.
4. Don’t rule out business class
How much more are you willing to pay for luxurious roominess, check-in baggage allowance, seat selection, an in-flight meal and a drink without the exorbitant price tag? That $99 hand-carry-only flight may be beckoning you, but don’t discount the possibility of a steal in the next seating category.
Some low-cost airlines will throw in a combination of the above privileges that can make you feel like you’re on a full-service flight – and for just a fraction more. This is especially true during sale periods, so keep an open mind and wallet for any deals that will let you stretch your dollar (and your legs).
