In similar vein,

You can fly First Class with a legacy carrier and you can buy designer clothes.

You can fly Economy Class with a legacy carrier and you can buy good clothing from a high street retailer.

You can fly sub-Economy with a loco and you can buy cheap clothing 'bargains' at a car boot sale.

None of which is illegal. But at what cost to those working in some sweat shop was your car boot sale T-shirt produced? If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. When it costs more to park at the airport than it does to fly, someone somewhere must be suffering as a result. But the greed of many of the UK's loutish air travellers shows that they don't care a damn - just so long as the price is low. Because the children of the "I want it now, I don't care how" generation simply have no conscience.
