At the Airport

AIRPORTS
• Several no-frill airlines provide service to smaller airports in remote locations. Factor in additional travel time and ground transportation costs for these secondary airports.

LUGGAGE
• Most low-fare airlines offer non-stop, direct flights from their hubs to another city. Layovers are not usually incorporated into travel, and, as such, extended service may require you to collect and recheck your luggage for the second part of the flight.

• Luggage restrictions may be more restrictive than on larger legacy carriers. Be sure to check individual airline policies in advance, as you'll be charged for additional or overweight luggage.

ONBOARD
• No-frills means just that. Expect to pay extra for food and beverages onboard.

• Several discount airlines don't issue seat assignments, so anticipate a bit of a free-for-all with fellow passengers when boarding the plane.

• Seating is infamously tight on many of these foreign planes, so be prepared to forego the legroom that you may be accustomed to on US airlines.
