Charter / Low Cost Airlines in North America
A number of these airlines have sprung up in North America as an alternative to mainstream, long-established airlines. As services decrease on the traditional, scheduled carriers, these low cost options seem even more attractive. Bear in mind that most are no-frills and may not be the most comfortable, but the savings may be worth it.
