List of Low Cost Carriers

Here is a great link I found for most of the Low Cost Carriers around the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_low-cost_carriers

If you know more that are not on this list please put in comments, note a LCC or Low Cost Carrier is not just a good airlines that gave you a discount.

This definition is difficult to define, however there is a list of IATA...another acronym that has all the published fares for airlines;

You have two types of Airlines.

1. Listed in the computer of the Travel Agent and sold as a published fare.

2. Not Listed in the Travel Agents computer and the only way you can buy is on the internet direct.

I have started a Domain Flyinghobos.com that will hopefully have all of them and easy to click on, no round the barn methods, just a good direct link.
