low-cost carrier
Cheap flight option
A low-cost carrier is an airline that offers lower fares by eliminating amenities traditional airlines include—checked bags, meals, seat selection, flexible rebooking.
Budget airlines like Southwest, Ryanair, and Spirit operate on this model: We flew a low-cost carrier to save money, but paid extra for everything.
Also called budget airline or no-frills carrier.
