Lowcost Airlines

lowcost-airlines

Normally $1.99.

We scan 105+ lowcost airlines and combine manually connected flights.

We believe that the traditional method of researching airfare (i.e. using fixed departure and arrival dates, expanded by just a few days at best) is hopelessly outdated and does not serve the needs of today’s travelers.

For that reason we created Lowcost – the low cost airfare search engine. Lowcost combines all available connections including those between different carriers and gives you the overview of cheapest options. And that all happens in just a blink of an eye.

Currently our database covers most airports in Europe and many destinations in Africa, Middle East and Asia. Gradually we expand our portfolio with more and more airlines and airports.
