another word for them is "network airlines."

Full service means they offer an F product or an international business class product, and they offer connections to all kinds of places.

Lowfare airlines serve certain markets with frequency but don't fly everywhere and do not usually offer separate classes. AirTran is one exception, they have at least one hub, and they have two classes.
