If you've visited Malaga on the Costa del Sol, you probably know how competitive the airlines are coming in and out of the Malaga airport. But there are more than just the flagship carriers competing here: low-cost airlines have exploded on the scene, with greatly increased representation and expansion of existing lines in the last few years. Cheap flights to Malaga are now a snap to find with low-cost airlines.
These carriers are called low-cost (as well as no-frills airlines, budget airlines and discount airlines) because of their lower operating costs compared to other 'legacy' carriers. However, nowadays people recognize them because they often offer low ticket prices without extras such as complimentary refreshments, multiple ticket classes and reserved seats, among others. There are vast differences even in this area however, with some offering a number of amenities not found on larger airlines. One major cost-savings comes from the method of ticket sales, most focusing on direct, online sales, while some also offer more traditional phone and travel agency options.
