•People travel between distant geographical locations for a variety of
reasons. Some may take the trip for official or business purposes while
others may be leisure travelers undertaking the journey to see and visit
some places of interest. Whatever the reason, everyone wishes to have a
comfortable, safe, and hassle free journey. In order to do so they can take
advantage of lowest flight tickets made available through the airline itself
or some reputed travel agency.
• Until a decade back air travel was a luxury that majority of Indians could not
afford due to exorbitant ticket prices. Fortunately, with the opening of
Indian economy and arrival of budget airlines things started to change for
the better.
• We will now look at what a budget airline is and what has been their
contribution in making air travel affordable.

1. Budget Airlines
• Budget airlines, also called no-frills, discount, or budget carriers, are
airlines that offer lower priced flight tickets with fewer amenities.
• These airlines may charge extra money from travelers if they wish to
avail of extra facilities like food, beverages, blankets, or priority boarding,
among others.
• Low cost carriers have a different business model and operating
structure and they should not be confused with regular airlines that
charge lower for short distance flights sans amenities or give special
periodic discounts on long distance flights.

2.Business model of Budget Airlines
• Most no-frills airlines find ways and means of reducing operating cost and
passing on the benefits to flyers.
• Some do not offer the facility of reservation, instead allowing the
passengers to take their seats on first come first serve basis. This grossly
reduces turnaround times.
• Some low cost carriers make it a point to fly to less congested city airports
which helps them save time, and also money, by taking advantage of lower
landing fees.
• A majority of the low cost carriers reward early reservation by charging less
initially and hiking the fare as the seats fill up.

• A discerning traveler can take advantage of lowest flight tickets by planning
in advance and making early reservations.
• They can also drastically reduce their travelling charges by hiring the
services of a reputable travel agency. These travel agencies often have an
arrangement with the discount airlines for inexpensive flight tickets.
3. What else can be done to enjoy an inexpensive, but fast, journey?
• The competition between these low-cost airlines is intense and a traveler
can take full advantage of this rivalry to save some hard earned money.
• Two budget carriers operating on the same route and vying for the same
set of consumers are often seen to indulge in intense price wars.

• They do so to attract and retain customers, but the more important motive
is to out price rivals and have the pie all to oneself.
• Prudent travellers, always seeking the opportunity for an inexpensive but
comfortable journey, will keep their eyes and ears open to take advantage
of such price wars.
• Another important thing that will help a traveller save some bucks is the
day of the week they choose to travel.
• Fridays and Saturdays are the days on which travelling should be avoided
since the chances of airlines offering discounts on weekends is pretty slim.

• Travelers on the lookout for inexpensive air tickets can subscribe to weekly
newsletters that will keep them updated about the latest discounts and
promotional schemes of various air carriers.
• Online flight ticket booking can also help them enjoy inexpensive and hassle
free trips.
4. Conclusion
• Travelling by air is the least time consuming option as compared to other
modes of travel. However, flight tickets are expensive, rendering this mode
of transport beyond the reach of many middle class Indians.
