budget carrier
Low-fare flyer
A budget carrier is an airline that offers low fares by eliminating amenities standard on traditional airlines—no free meals, tight seat pitch, fees for checked bags and seat selection.
Southwest, Ryanair, and Spirit are budget carriers.
Also called low-cost carrier or no-frills airline.
We flew a budget carrier to save money, but the legroom was brutal.
