When you fancy a quick getaway, whether that’s a week at a sunny beach resort or a long weekend in a new city, one of the first and easiest places to turn is a budget airline. With flights that cost less than airport parking, they’re the simplest solution to holiday blues.
Sometimes two flights to the same place, but with different airlines, can be wildly different prices. For instance, flights between Edinburgh and London can cost £50-£60 with British Airways but Ryanair is able to do the same journey for less than £20.
But have you ever found yourself wondering how these airlines like Ryanair and easyJet manage to keep costs down? Well, there are a few things that these airlines do to save pennies that, most of the time, you won’t even notice.
