You get the service you pay for.
True, but where does one draw the line? Pay a $100 less and don't be suprised with a 12 hour delay? Pay $50 less and expect to pay for printing your boarding pass at the airport?
I haven't yet traveled on an ULCC. Like most of you, I have had my share of aggravation when I am travelling with my family on a mainline airline and face delays. So, I haven't picked up the courage to book an ULCC yet.
