budget class
No-frills travel option
Budget class describes the lowest-priced tier of products or services, designed for cost-conscious consumers.
Airlines, hotels, and electronics commonly use the term to distinguish basic offerings from premium options: We booked budget class seats for the short flight.
The phrase implies adequate but minimal features—functional without frills.
