For "flyBE" (a LCC from the UK), I noticed on the CO website that they are listed as one of CO's partners, and give CO FF miles for their flights. Didn't notice any reference to that on the flyBe website, so it may be an involved process to get the CO miles from flyBE flights. Save your tickets and BP's for submitting to CO for mileage. We flew them from Belfast to Gatwick a few years ago (BAe 146, they also have Dash-8's) when they were known as Jersey European, and the service and flight was fine. Fares are quite reasonable.

Don't know if you want to count the public charters that operate scheduled service such as Hooters, or not, but I thought I'd throw them on the list anyway since I think Air Transat and others operate on a similar basis.
Forgot one:
Allegiant Air http://www.allegiant-air.com
And:
Trans Meridian just went Chapter 7. So never mind about them

Reason: addition & subtraction
Because of the many posts and suggestions in this thread, perhaps we should ask that this be made a "sticky" on the Budget Travel forum, to help our members find LCC's all over the world. At the least, it'd be a start in planning their travels.
Just a thought at 3:19 AM eastern time.

bhatnasx, emailkid and grbflyer - thanks so much for volunteering and welcome as our moderators.
As one of your first "official" acts, can you make this thread a sticky? This has been mentioned as a request in serveral posts, so I'm not the only one asking.

I do agree that an LCC thread probably deserves to be a sticky, and this one certainly provides a lot of good info

Thanks for the sticky!
One site that used to be good was applefares.com. I paticularly liked the way you could do a "mystery search". Unfortunately it now seems to time out on its queries. Anybody know anything about this?
Last week, USA Today had a list of LCC airlines in Asia. Most, such as Tiger and Nok Air, have been mentioned above. The one not listed is One-Two-Go, based in Bangkok and serving China, Thailand and South Korea. Their website is www.fly12go.com

When I finish at least one of my other projects I keep starting I'll look at what might work well in a wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki ) for these forums. But in true blue peter style, here's something I did earlier:
Miles and low fares!! What else could a man ask for?

Comparison sites for budget travel
