Low Cost Carrier reference sites
I'm glad there's now a forum for the thrifty. I suggest including in our first sticky these sites for budget/LCC airlines:
http://www.flybudget.com/ http://www.whichbudget.com/?lang=en http://www.skyscanner.net/ http://www.ch-aviation.ch/lcc.php European only http://www.low-cost-airline-guide.com/ European only Great resources for learning who flies cheap regional routes within Europe and Asia. |
US:
www.flyi.com www.spirit.com www.usa3000.com (charters and services from the northeast to FL and Caribbean) asia: www.airasia.com www.tigerairways.com www.jetstarasia.com South America: http://www.voegol.com.br/INT/index_ie.asp (Brazil and Buenos Aires) Australia: http://www.virginblue.com.au/ If you want to copy/paste these into a master #1 post, by all means... |

I like http://www.skyscanner.net/ as a comparison tool for European LCC flights.
Regarding openjet.com: I wouldn't book through them since they charge a service fee. Go to the airline's website instead.. |
Wouldn't be possible to make this thread a sticky with all that great info?!

Great list, Super Larry,
Did you forget (or did I overlook) three LCC's from Canada? Air Transat flies from many cities in Canada to destinations in Canada, the U.S. (limited destinations in the U.S.), and Europe. They book through "Exit.ca"or TA's. Very tight pitch and no FF miles, but low fares. AT's website is here: http://www.airtransat.ca Also, HMY Airlines in Canada, and Zoom Airlines (Canada to the U.K.) might be considered, as they have infrequent schedules, but slightly lower fares then the majors. bj-21. |

Domesticflights in South Africa:
www.kulula.com Kulula is operated by Comair, which also operates BA domestic services in SA. Note that flight numbers with four digits beginning with a 6 (MN6***) are operated by British Airways and also carry BA passengers. Three digit flight numbers are Kulula only. |

I had assumed this was Volare, which went out of business last year - see http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/arti...709640,00.html (4th paragraph). Perhaps it's Phoenix-Volare :D ? |

Yup, that could be it, though perhaps a little odd that a new company would want a name so close to a bankrupt airline :confused: .
