Bargain Flights

Savvy travellers can now choose from a wide range of bargain flights from the UK, with the arrival of the phenomenally successful low-cost flights changing the way that many people fly today. Instead of traditional charter and schedule flights being the only option for passengers, there are now bargain flights available to a wealth of different routes throughout Europe. Whether it's to a well-loved tourist hotspot such as Alicante or popular city break such as Paris, directline-flights can help find just the right bargain flight for you, at just the right time and just the right price.  

 

For price-conscious passengers, bargain flights are now widely accessible from a number of British airports, with fares slashed dramatically thanks to the elimination of traditional services usually included in the fare. Airlines can offer these bargain flights by providing a no-frills basic service, and cutting out extra costs such as free meals and drinks, business-class seating and restricting luggage allowances. Travellers should be aware that there are standard fees usually charged on bargain flights for services and additional extras, such as credit card fees, in-flight refreshments, checked baggage and extra hand luggage, and if passengers miss their flight, they may be charged full-fare to be placed on the next one. The best time to get exceptional deals on your bargain cheap flight is during the low-season, as prices are based on supply and demand, and for those busier peak season times, such as school holidays and Christmas, booking early is the key to getting the best possible fares.

There are over 60 low-cost airlines operating throughout Europe which offer bargain flights for passengers, with the most popular being easyJet, ryanair, bmibaby, FlyBe and jet2, although established carriers such as British Airways and KLM also offer bargain flights in an attempt to compete with these airlines, and charter flight companies, such as Monarch, can also offer bargain flights to a range of holiday destinations if they have empty seats to sell.
