Travelers are always seeking the next new deal to hit the travel circuit. Thus, affordable airlines have sprouted up around the world and are offering amazingly low fares with few amenities. To get from Point A to Point B, sometimes all you need is a jet with an overhead bin. Here are the world´s most affordable airlines.
Lufthansa
This friendly German airline is the largest in Europe and can take you around the entire continent and world (up to 78 countries) for cheap. The blue-and-yellow airline has been equated with affordable fares for more than half a century.
Air Asia
For inexpensive jaunts to and from Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and other major (and not-so-major) Asian cities, the prices Air Asia offers cannot be beat. A flight from Hanoi, Vietnam, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for example, can be as low as $50.
easyJet
This Britain-based airline offers cheap trips to some of Europe´s lesser-known cities and airports, making it a wise choice for budget travelers.
Turkish Airlines
Fairly new to the discount airline circuit, Turkish Airlines provides connections between some of the world´s biggest cities on five continents, including Washington, D.C., Hong Kong and Delhi. Due to Turkey´s central location, many layovers take you through Istanbul.
Virgin Atlantic
This popular airline specializes in non-stop flights from the United States to destinations abroad at reasonable prices with luxury-imitation amenities.
