Travelers on China Tours may have an impression that Chinese people tend to travel by train or by bus. They seldom consider taking an airplane. That is because taking an airplane is much expensive than taking train on the one hand, and that it takes much trouble to find an appropriate airplane on the other hand. So for low fare and convenience, they just come to the train station and buy their tickets directly on most occasions. Unlike China Flights, many airlines in America offer low price which can meet different needs of different people. This article will introduce some of these airlines for international travelers.

 1.      Southwest Airlines

Southwest Airline headquarters in Dallas, Texas. It is the largest airline in the world in terms of passenger flow volume. It uses a “point to point” route system which means that it carries the passengers directly to their destinations without stopping at a connecting hub. Currently, Southwest offers services to 69 cities in 35 states in America such as Chicago, Oakland, and Phoenix. One of the reasons for its low fare is that it usually flies to secondary airports instead of the major ones to the same destinations. This practice can save both the airline and its passengers’ costs. Besides its low cost, it also offers some unique benefits for group travel such as special discounted rates, flexible fares and payments and unlimited name changes.

 2.      JetBlue Airways

Kennedy International Airport as its main base.

So you will have something else to do besides sleep. This airline serves 60 destinations in 11 countries including Aruba, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico, Dominican Republic and of course United States.

 3.      Frontier Airlines

 As a brand of Republic Airways Holdings, Frontier Airlines has its headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It mainly serves three countries: the United States, Mexico, and Costa Rica. Unlike Southwest and JetBlue, Frontier operates a hub and spoke route system with Denver as its main hub. Its main destinations are the in the west of the Mississippi River. But it also offers serves to Mexican resort cities such as Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Cozumel, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.

 4.      Spirit Airlines

Spirit Airlines is another United States low cost carrier headquartered in Miramar, Florida. It flies to 41 destinations through Central America, the Caribbean, South America and the United States.
