if you really compute their fares, they are actually more expensive than other Airline, why? they do not serve meal on board, check-in baggage weight are limited and others. If you want to have a normal flight(i mean just like a leading airline with meals and standard baggage allowed) you have to purchase them in additional cost!! also, add daily scheduled flights are delayed! cost time and money!
