Low cost carrier is indeed an industry term, and "cost" refers to airline cost, not yours as a ticket buyer. Your definition would exclude WN. The industry would vigorously disagree with you if you tried to pass off WN as a full service carrier ala the US3 just because their ticket prices match US3 prices on the same route.
Lol no WN is a high price, no service carrier
I do remember the good old days when they were cheap and 16 segments got you a free flight anywhere. Still no service but you got what you paid for.
Ok fair enough if it's an industry term.
