In the recent years, many people all over the world have taken up travelling. Especially, the tourist inflow in India has increased tremendously. This has subsequently led to increase in a number of low cost airlines in India. Low cost airlines refer to airlines that offer discount airfares. Low cost airlines in India have made travelling easier and affordable for numerous travellers. Since they offer huge discounts, these low cost airlines make travelling by air attractive and cheap.
Different airlines follow different cost cutting strategies to offer the best price to their customers. As air travelling is much faster and comfortable, it is easier to find low cost airlines for short haul flights rather than long haul flights.

The common term used in the low cost airline industry is ‘no frill’. If you are travelling on an air ticket which has “no-frill” attached to it, this means that some of the extra benefits such as meals and drinks have not been included. They have been cut down from the ticket price. Some low cost airlines in India offer travel insurance as an option for extra cash. Usually these low cost airlines use small flights for cutting down the overheads.

Of late, low cost airlines in India have started focusing on non-metro cities. Frequent business travellers are the primary customers of low cost airlines operating in non-metros. These airlines have cut down costs tremendously so much so that there are ‘Economy’ and ‘Business’ classes in every airliner which can suit even the upper middle-class customer or high-end professional. To encourage and retain customers, most of the airlines offer programmes like ‘Frequent Flier’ programs which help you earn points for every few hundred kilometres you fly. One can use these points to avail further discounts on their airfares during their next trips.

To obtain the best discount airfares in most of the low cost airlines, it is essential to book tickets well in advance, as charges will be very high in case of last minute bookings. Airfares will also be cheap on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays compared to other day. They offer lot of added advantages such as online booking, online check-ins, mobile booking and booking through agents.

Air Deccan, Air India Express, IndiGo Airlines, KingFisher Airlines, Paramount and Spice Jet are a few popular low cost airlines in India which offers excellent services. Indeed, the Indian aviation department is undergoing a remarkable change. There has been a remarkable increase in the number of low cost airlines offering good discounts. In short, low cost airlines in India are a big success story.
