Go back one hundred years and, to get anywhere fast, you were on the railway to the nearest port to get on a ship. When you think about the rate of progress, it makes you quite proud of human achievements. What used to take weeks in some cases is now hours, sometimes in airplanes that can carry amazing numbers of people. For example, the A380 is allowed to carry 853 passengers in an economy class set-up. So, if you do the math, sharing the cost of the fuel and writing off the cost of the plane, 853 people can travel more cheaply than a hundred or so in a smaller plane. Discounted travel comes in different forms. The other way in which saving are made is to cut out all the “extras”. Some airlines provide a high standard of passenger care. When you arrive in the airport, you are whisked into a special lounge, offered a drink and a rundown. Then it’s on to the plane with food and entertainment provided. This makes the travel a less stressful experience. Go through a budget airport and you see a rather different approach to transport.

Curiously, some airlines have responded to the current recession and drop in passenger numbers by increasing their ticket prices. Indian airlines tried discounting and that did not tempt passengers back into the air so they reasoned that, if people had to fly, they would pay more. If they paid more, the airlines would make a smaller loss. Airlines in other countries are playing a backdoor game with their prices. They advertise a headline price but charge for a lot of extras. What may be added in? Well, let’s take something “simple” like your baggage. Carry one small bag over your shoulder weighing less than 7kg on to the plane and you’re safe.

Mexico’s two main airways, Aeromexico and Mexicana de Aviacion were openly appurtenant and controlled the Mexican air traveling market for many years. Rates were so high, that the most of Mexicans and tourists have been forced to travel via bus. When these airways were privatized, some Mexican reduction airways have come in the scene, making rivalry and sending air rates down.

In the past times budget travelers have been spending a lot of long hours on buses. Mexico’s bus facility might be perfect – with different service levels and well coverage everywhere in the country, but Mexico is huge country, and bus travel among destinations might take very long time. So budget travelers may consume that airway in Mexico is now a really good choice.

There are some cautions. Travel agents frequently do not involve Mexican reduction airways in their retrieves.
