Low Cost Airlines



If I would not fly a low cost airline on long distances it does not really bother me when it comes to short 2 or 3 hours flights maximum. But I will still be pickish. I already scared myself flying some weird airlines in Africa or in Indonesia. I have recently been flying on SilkAir which is not really a low cost but more like a regional subsidy of Singapore Airlines and I flew Tiger Airways to places like Phuket in the past. A few weeks ago when I saw free flights advertised in my morning paper I could not resist and immediately booked a couple of seats for us. Free surely never really means 'entirely free' as you still have to pay the taxes but it is always interesting to be flying to places like Bangkok for a fraction of what it would cost on the national carrier.
