Here are listed 10 golden rules to consider when buying low cost air fares (AKA low cost).
1. The advertised price is NOT the purchase price!
The biggest national processing of the time, the advertised price does not take into account various fees, including airport taxes or use credit card for payment.
2. AVOID the pitfalls when buying online
When you purchase the ticket online, please note fields marked pre-inadevertidamente that can cause considerable increase in the ticket price.
3. The companies cover checked low cost
If you plan to travel in a low cost airline, know that you can only carry one hand luggage free of charge. All luggage will be charged extra.
4. Do not forget to PRINT your boarding pass!
Ryanair, for example, charges € 40 if you do not!
5. DISABILITY Care!
Most times, companies do not offer low-cost basic services or charge for them (eg wheelchair).
6. Legroom is often missing!
If it is high try to get the best seats, which are usually more expensive.
7. PAY to be able to CHOOSE YOUR PLACE
Usually the places are not marked. If you want to travel with your child, some companies offer that option, others do not. Have to be quick. (Vueling, for example, allows the marking of place by paying a fee.)
8. NOTHING is included in price unless the flight!
Anything that number will cost extra. (Food, drinks, ...)
9. Most of the time the airport is NOT MAIN
For example when taking a flight with Ryanair to Barcelona Girona airport on the land, and will take about 1 hour to reach the city center. Please note the additional costs for public transportation or parking.
10. The low cost airlines are not always the cheapest
Unlike what you may think, low cost fares are not always the cheapest. Before booking your flight, make sure that no other company is more economical. Do not forget to consider any extra costs when comparing prices (airport taxes, user fee credit card, site selection, rate of online check-in luggage ...).
