Charges on cheap flights
The cheapest flight is not always the best value for money flight? Be on the lookout for taxes, flight insurance and credit card fees that may inflate the price of your cheap flights beyond that of another carrier. Also be aware of excess luggage charges as some low cost airlines have severe restrictions which means that overweight charges may apply, where as others are more flexible.
When searching for flights also consider the cost of parking at the airport if applicable. Also bear in mind where you are landing. Some destination airports are miles from the city centre and transfer costs on trains and buses can make your costs greater.
Low-cost Airlines
Low-cost airlines like Easyjet, Ryanair, BMIBaby, Flybe etc are scheduled airlines that offer cheap flights on a regular basis through promotions on their website. You should also consider other scheduled airlines that may, from time to time, provide a more value for money service. The likes of BA, Iberia, American Airlines, KLM and Lufthansa should not be discounted from your search. Charter airlines can also supply very cheap flights to the public at times when they have spare capacity to certain destinations.
Booking cheap flights normally means that you have little flexibility if you need to alter your booking. Low cost airlines will generally charge you a fee and the difference in price of the new flight choice. Charter flights airlines offer even less flexibility… normally it is not possible to change or cancel bookings. If you need flexibility avoid cheap flights and go with those scheduled airlines that are not classed as low cost.
