ULCCs might be short on price but they're also often short on service. That $59 fare comes with strings attached. Want to fly better-better yourself and you will.

I would be with you if it were someone flying a ULCC and then going on an online rant about how the seat was small, there was no first class, there was no lounge, there was no food, and they had to pay for baggage. Those are the legitimate, advertised strings attached to the $59 fare.

We still expect the core product - the flight - to be delivered with the $59 fare.
