Low Cost Carriers is a popular topic at the Australian Frequent Flyer. And for obvious reasons - we all love a bargain! But the problem with low cost carriers is that once you have paid for all the extras, you could end up paying more than a discounted ticket on a full service airline.

ScootPlus, the premium cabin on low-cost carrier Scoot, is not Business Class - nor does it pretend to be, and it's priced accordingly. As we discovered flying ScootPlus from Seoul to Singapore, it's still a comfortable way to fly.

Air New Zealand will stop selling Seat+Bag fares and add more inclusions in Economy Class on Trans-Tasman and Pacific Island routes.
Argentina's first low-cost airline, Flybondi provides a cheap and cheerful service - as we discovered when flying with them from Buenos Aires to Patagonia.
