What Are Discount Carriers?
Discount carriers (also referred to as discount airlines or low-cost airlines) are airlines that are known to offer low travel fares in exchange for “no frills” service — they do not include many extra services or luxuries found on traditional airlines.

These carriers also tend to only offer a single passenger class; have a simplified scheme for fares and routes; only provide booking through their own websites; and be less well known than large-scale national and full-service airlines.

For these reasons, discount carriers are often not included in major online travel sites and fare search engines. As a result, it can be difficult to find discount carriers that service a particular destination, or find fare information and book flights with them.

Once a carrier is found, it can also be difficult to find information about them and the quality of their services.
