To show how low the whole low fares thing has stooped to is that fact that Joe P pax will happily buy the lowest fare you can get say on a LGW-JFK Norwegian flight - sometimes not much more than £100 one way
Take a cabin bag onboard free, not buy any food (This is a 7 hour plus duration flight) and be quite happy to buy a Boots ready meal in the terminal or a home made sandwich to eat plus ask for a glass of water.
This is what long haul let alone short haul travel has become - quite vile if you ask me
Yes I know Laker did it almost 40 years ago too for £59
