Concepto Ultra Low Cost
The Low Cost concept is very fashionable in the world and little by little in our region. But, what is the difference?
A Low Cost charges for certain additional services and its base rates have some advantages for the traveler, as explained in flights with Wingo, VivaColombia and Jetblue. An Ultra differs and charges for even more services that we all consider basic or that we have the right to as a traveler.
For instance, a ULCC will have less space between seats, which allows more passengers per flight and more revenue, they charge for each checked bag, by hand luggage (important), for food, entertainment on board, preferential check and others.
Fleet
