No Frills - No-frills Airlines

No-frills Airlines

No-frills airlines are airlines that offer low fares but eliminate all non - essential services, such as complimentary drinks snacks, in - flight entertainment systems, business-class seating etc. A no-frills airline will typically cut overheads by flying from more remote airports (with lower access charges) and by using one single type of aircraft. Aircraft cabin interiors may be fitted out with minimum comforts, dispensing with luxuries such as seat-back video screens, reclining seats and blinds; some airlines choose to carry advertising inside the cabin to increase revenue.

Some airlines also extend the definition of "frills" to include standard services and conveniences; for example, a no-frills airline may charge passengers an additional fee for carrying luggage, using the airport check-in desk, using wheelchairs or even for using the toilet.
