The Low cost carriers do exactly what they promise.... They get you from A-B as cheaply as possible. They do it by not offering the (expensive) cheap frills of the 'full fare' carriers and they appear tobe doing it well. The Likes of Stelios and MO'L have in essense defined a new budget product which should not be compared to the grand old days of aviation when one enjoyed the 'experience' of voyaging by air to Brussels or Paris. Modern low cost aviation is what it claims to be A-B without the peanuts and dead cheap. You cant knock it.
