Are cheap airfares a dream of yours; along with millions of other travellers?. No- frills, low-cost airlines have 'exploded on the scene to bridge the supply and demand gap. Jet Blue Airways, South West Airlines, Zoom and Easy Jet, but to name a very few, are competing for travelers who look for cost effectiveness. Established air lines now also offer a range of flights for the economy travelers, to oppose the competition offered by the no frills airways. Getting the most cost effective deal, however, requires some time and effort. Online websites and agencies like www.lowcostarlines.org provide extensive information about full service discount travel. Some websites even offer a cost calculator specific to the airlines, destination and travel time.

Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, E-bookers and Opodo are some websites and online travel agencies that offer extremely user-friendly information as well as booking services for travelers. Although booking airfare online is definately cheaper, it may be prudent to get the flight details checked out by a travel agent; you never know they may even offer you a better deal or match it! Agents know the industry thoroughly and can help you get a better deal. In addition many carriers use their websites only to list fares and will not list with booking agencies or other travel websites.

You have to read the fine lines when you do book with a no frills airline. The prices are pretty specific to a certain flight, a certain day and a certain time. They do not include late bookings or changes in the itinerary. Also, keep in mind that "no frills" is exactly that - there are no free meals or drinks served on these flights, and there are often one or two stops before you reach your destination. However, if you are prepared to accept this then you can travel world-wide at exceptionally low prices.
