discount airline tickets

**Mizz Phatty** asked:


See, my fiancee is a Ranger in the US Army and he is gettin ready to deploy to Iraq. He was supposed to be able to come down to say his goodbyes but we just BARELY found out that it’s not going to happen. Because of the fact that it’s so last minute and for other personal reasons, we don’t have the money for a full priced round trip ticket for me to go see him. Could anyone help me in gettin some kind of a discount ticket or something?!?! I’m not expectin anthing free, of course…I would just really appreciate any help! THANKS!!!!!

Discount airlines can be described as low cost carriers, low budget carriers that have no frills. These airlines will many a time provide service between cities in the same country or region, or between neighboring countries. The aircraft that are used are smaller than those used for long haul flights. They use for example large jets or the airbus A320. An example of one of these airlines is Frontier Airlines, which flies to domestic destinations in the U.S as well as to some cities in Mexico and Canada.

By no frills, we mean that these airlines, might offer extra services on board at an extra cost. For example, you might pay a little extra to seat in your seat of choice, or you will find that is not an option, because it is open sitting for all passengers. You might have to buy your food, or bring it on board, or pay to rent earphones for the duration of the flight.

You will find that these airlines operate many short haul flights, and so in a day may have up to ten flights between two cities. This makes it easy for you to just drive to the airport, buy a ticket and hop on a flight. For example flights between San Diego and Las Vegas.

Something else to note about discount airlines is that they are popular with business travelers who just want to jump on a flight, with no fuss, get to their destination, get their work done and get back home in the evening.
