Tickets for flights on European discount airlines are not sold at a fixed price. Most airlines increase the price as seats are sold and as the date of departure approaches. Buying a last minute ticket on a discount airline can sometimes be just as expensive as travelling on a full fare airline.

Some low cost airlines have sales and promotion periods where you can get tickets for cheap flights inside Europe at a fixed price independent of the number of free seats on the flight. You may have to travel on certain days of the week and book a minimum number of days before departure. Information on such sales periods is often only published on each airline's web site and can also be found in the news section of Euroflights.info.

Cancelling or changing a ticket on a no-frills airline
Few, if any, low cost airlines will give you a refund if you need to cancel your reservation. Some offer an insurance that can be paid at the time of booking and which will allow you to cancel the flight for certain reasons.
Many European discount airlines allow you to change your reservation for a fee. You should also expect to have to pay the difference between what you paid for the original ticket and what it would cost to buy the new ticket at the time you change your reservation.
Travelling on European discount airlines
The European budget airlines offer tickets at a low price, but this does not come for free. Read more below.
- Luggage usually can't be checked through from one flight to the next. If you are connecting between two flights, you will usually have to pick up your luggage and check it in again for your next flight. This even if the two flights are with the same low cost airline.
- No free food. Few discount airlines serve free food or drink, but many sell good quality food at a reasonable price on board.
- Little or no support when flights are delayed. If your flight is delayed or cancelled don't expect to get any compensation from the airline. A few discount airlines offer a limited form of compensation. Should you miss a connecting flight because your low cost flight is delayed, you should not expect to receive any assistance or compensation from the airline.
- Single leg flights. Flight times are not coordinated with other airlines and some airports are not served frequently. This means that it can be hard to join two flights without considerable waiting time.
- Limited baggage allowance. Baggage allowance on low cost airlines is often somewhat limited compared to traditional full fare airlines. Usually baggage is limited by weight and to only one carry on item per passenger. Expect to have to pay extra for any baggage exceeding the allowance.
Changes in the European airline industry
The European airline industry is adjusting to the reality of low fares airlines capturing a large and increasing share of European travelers.
Many traditional full fare airlines are adding new fare classes offering a limited number of tickets at prices approacing those offered by the true low cost airlines. The airlines does this without removing the old business and tourist class fares.
The new low priced fares comes with more restrictions and fewer services compared to the more expensive tickets:
- cancellation of tickets may not be possible
- name change on a ticket may not be possible or only for a fee
- changing date or time of your flights may not be possible
- inflight meals may not be included in the ticket price
Some European airlines are creating low cost offspring airlines to cater for the price conscious travelers. Examples of such airlines are:
- Centralwings, the low cost offspring of Polish airline LOT.
- FlyNordic, which is owned by Finish airline Finnair.
The new budget airlines are causing increased competition for the old airlines in Europe, and several have already had to cease operation, including Belgian Sabena and Swissair. The increased competition from discount airlines is also driving airline mergers like the one between Air France and Dutch KLM airlines.
