Budget airlines allow you to explore the world at a low price tag, but you should tread lightly when booking flights with them. Your flight won’t be so cheap if you end up paying a bunch of extra fees, but you can avoid additional costs by not making these common mistakes.
Late Check-In
Always check in before reaching the airport when flying with low-cost airlines. Checking in on the spot is an option, but these companies usually charge extra if you’re checking in at the airport—plus you’ll be wasting unnecessary time in the check-in queue.
Baggage Fees
Baggage fees will significantly increase the cost of your ticket. If traveling light isn’t an option, research all the possible options for checked-in luggage and see which one works best for you. Also make sure that your suitcase fits the required size, and make payment online because it can be more expensive on the spot.
Don’t Pick Your Seat
Unless you’re flying with friends and family and you want to sit together, don’t be too picky about your seat. Low-budget airlines charge extra for seat allocation, and this is usually a waste of money when it comes to short flights.
