As the saying goes, “You pay for whatever you”. More and more China Airlines provide cheap discount flying tickets to one degree or another. Certainly they have their methods to realize it. Once you took the cheap China Flights, you could understand them in some ways.

Well, some professional people name the two main methods as Lower Cost and Additional Revenue.

Ways to increase the additional revenue:

1. No free meals: Hungry now? Just pick up the menu in front of your sit and let the attendant to take your order. But, what do you find? Yes, these all need extra fee and dishes there could be simple and expensive. General price: $5-10USD
2. No free audio-video entertainment facilities: In the same way, you should rent relevant equipments with some extra fee when you want to watch movies or listen to music. And you can use your own audio-video equipments such as i-Pod on board. General price: $10-15USD
3. Narrower mobile space in the airplane: reducing the public mobile area and increasing seats are the common measures budget airlines take so as to increase revenue. Though no more mobile space are available, you may get extra vacant seats after other passengers fixed their seats once you catch up with no- full capacity.
4. Landing on non- principal cities: Except for some popular routes, many routes are not so hot. So the companies designed their destination in non-principal cities. You may wonder why they choose these non-popular ones since they can not earn more money. Though no more money from us passengers, the companies get not a few extra incomes from local government. Because some local government would not only give favorable airport user charges but also reciprocal measure in order to stimulate local travel industry.

Methods to lower cost:

1. Less service staff: without meal-service or other basic services, the flights only need to keep essential service staff on board.
2. No air-bridge service: most people know that it is convenient to go board through the air-bridge. For lower cost, passengers who take their flights must go board through the ground and staircase with their luggage by themselves. Certainly not all of the budget airlines do the same. Otherwise, they will loose the old and some other guests.
3. Landing on secondary airports: some of the budget airlines choose to the secondary airports in metropolis. For example, Jetstar, one of the famous budget airlines designed their planes to land on secondary one of MELB in Australia. It is not convenient to our passengers. So you’d better get a line on the definitely landing site.
4. No paper tickets: another wise method to cut down their counter cost which covers labor power cost, facility cost even paper cost. You should book your E-ticket through the Internet, then show your passport and booking number to the counter and go board.
5. No commissionsale in travel agency: most cheap airlines take this step which means they do not need to pay the commission to travel agencies to cut down cost. As mentioned above, the Internet booking is common direct mode among them.
6. Decrease ad budgets: given to the cost, the airlines spend little money on ads, which leads them less-known ones. So it is not easy for you to get their information. But if you want to save money very much, surf the Internet harder. Surely you can get a bunch of useful info.
